Scoring in opponents turn... Could break alternate turns?

I'm curious about something. You can score in your opponents turn (e.g by being pushed into the end zone by a block while holding the ball, catching an inaccurate pass, or pass blocking a desperate throw). When this happens the rules state the scoring team advances their turn marked by an extra turn while they celebrate.
Now, am I wrong thinking this could result in the other player having two turns in a row at the end of the drive?
Say I'm on offence. My turn marker is on turn 3, and it's now my opponents turn 3. I score in their turn, so my turn marker gets pushed to turn 4 while the team celebrates (note it doesn't say my opponents turn marker is also advanced here). Now it's my turn, so per the rules I move the turn marker again at the start of my turn, to turn 5. Now I'm two turns ahead of my opponent, which means once my turn 8 is finished, they will have to play turn 7 AND 8 in a row.
Am I interpreting this wrong or has it ever happened to anyone?
