There are of course grey lines, like veteran and jailor pretending to be each other when all TP's are dead or something. (last night had a transporter game where trans moved himself with the vet and got GF killed - this is questionable, but not 100% throwing).
The second part however, is not throwing. It is always allowed to fake-claim to evils, maybe even to town (I often claim vet as vigilante or the other way around in whispers when I am sus of them).
There is a fine-line, but the way it is now is just stupid
I think it depends on why he was calling someone sus that he had not even checked. (Colby was jailed n1 so he was not knowingly calling a person sus that had showed as inno--Colby had not checked anyone.) If he was doing to harass someone, then he would have done it to me, and not to Juju. But I suspect he did it to Juju specifically because Juju told town he had been witched. (Colby correct me if I am wrong about why it was Juju you called out.) Only trash players call out that they were controlled by a witch when they are evil roles. So there was a near certainty that Juju was not evil. But look at the info gained by that one vote--the people who voted Juju up to the stand and those who voted him guilty were almost all evil roles. So even though, tragically, the lovely Juju was lynched, nearly all evil roles revealed themselves with that one vote.
And to your second part, you 100% agree that fake claiming a role as town should not result in an automatic game throwing ban. There are many ways and reasons to fake claim as town. Some are very simple--like vet vs vig claims, med vs retri claims--and others are more nuanced and strategic.
