If an outstanding TSP loan going into retirement isn’t repaid, is it my 1-time partial withdrawal?

We’re allowed a one time partial withdrawal from TSP in retirement, would not repaying my loan, which becomes a taxable distribution, qualify as my one time partial withdrawal from TSP?

This is an unusual question and I could not find a clear answer on the TSP website or elsewhere. Therefore, please consider this response to be an “educated guess”.
In several places the TSP specifically states that you cannot make a post-separation withdrawal of any kind until your loan is closed. Based on this, it would seem that closing your loan (either by paying it or taking a taxable distribution) would not be considered a withdrawal and you would still have the opportunity after separation to take both a partial and a full withdrawal.
Have any readers run into this situation? If so, can you respond?

I will also have an outstanding TSP loan when I separate from federal service and I was told by the TSP rep that the loan would NOT count as the one-time partial withdrawal.
