I don't understand how you come to this conclusion. Law 50D2b is quite
clear: It remains a penalty card if declarer doesn't demand or
prohibit a lead in the suit. Thus, if partner leads some other suit,
the PC remains a PC, and if partner regains the lead with the card
unplayed, Law 50D2 applies. IMO it's impossible that this Law can mean
anything else.
