This still doesn't make sense to me, given the way the rule (4-2-e)
reads:
 
"When ONE (emphasis theirs) minor penalty is assessed to ONE player of
EACH team at the same stoppage of play, these penalties will be served
without substitution provided there are no other penalties in effect
and visible on the clock."
 
Since each player received a double minor - two minors - this section
doesn't apply and substitution is allowed.
