Yup, that's exactly why they want to cover both groups at the same time. About a year ago TfL did an enforcement drive which covered cycling on pavements + jumping red lights (esp aimed at cyclists) and also motorists driving in cycle lanes + (I think) using advanced stop lines. It was fairly low key though, and was linked to a comms campaign.

I have done a little looking about this morning and cant find anything in law that states either way. I think its another grey law area.

I can't quote the law on this, but I'm pretty sure that TfL ran an enforcement drive for this element in the past. This seems to indicate that it is enforceable, and also corresponds to what I've been told by the IAM in the past. Will see what I can trak down at this end anyway.
However if someone can find something that I can quote at a copper to get off if i get caught in the cycle box then that would be really handy!!
