I don't think that's true; I think you've misread it.

A.2(4):

 4. The minimum discussion period is counted from the time the last formal
    amendment was accepted, or since the whole resolution was proposed if no
    amendments have been proposed and accepted.

If the original proposers of the GR don't accept the amendment, then
the discussion period isn't restarted.
