Raynor has just left Hobbiton.

If I read this quote correctly I take it to mean that the unbodied fea would flee the terror of the Shadow to the safety of the Halls of Mandos.
While the halls of Mandos are a likely destination, they are not the only possible one - the qualifier is inclusive "any" - not exclusive, such as "only".
Quote:
Unbodied fea who were committed to Darkness would refuse the summons of Mandos and would instead fall under the dominion of the Shadow.
We're in agreement here.
Quote:
is not really a 'third option' but is simply to illustrate that even one of the Eldar would not be able to resist the counter-summons of Morgoth if he refused the summons to Mandos, just like the Avari from the preceding sentence.
The text does not exclude power to resist counter-summons completely. This remains a possibility - theoretical for the weak.
