It sounds like these may not be "line trained" students though. In which case I wonder why there's a line at all?

Yep, works good. We did a dive where we were in (self induced) 0 vis inside the Cape Breton. I felt a squeeze on my calf. I just halted and waited for the signal to move on. (Our line was caught on my fin.)Buddy in front, facing away + entangled...
I would go to touch contact. You are going to need to get close and approach them to disentangle them anyway. So swim up, squeeze calf or thigh so they stop and then get to work freeing them.
