If someone requests return of their passport and leaves the UK, any application is regarded as withdrawn

Under UK law that is correct, but it does not apply for applications under European law. You can apply for EEA2 and then travel without affecting the application. The web site no longer tells you this (it used to), but you will find a number of reports from people that have done exactly this.
