genitive absolute

It looks like Acts has some exceptions to the genitive absolute rule regarding the grammatical relation between the main clause and the GA. For example, 21:34 and 28:6 appear not to be strictly GAs. What about 3:11, which is normally understood as a GA construction? Could not KRATOUNTOS DE AUTOU refer to the hO LAOS and not to the cripple? The crowd is the subject of vv 9-10 and of the main clause of v 11. In terms of sense, the crowd would logically seize Peter and John and run with them into the stoa. That 'makes more sense' than the healed man clinging to them.
Or have I misunderstood GAs?
