The bigger issue is that the "surprise" play was blown by the ref's error. Re-starting the inbounds play doesn't restore the element of surprise. I can understand why zebraman is upset with himself, but under the circumstances I think his solution was the best anyone has a right to expect.

The timer did not make a mistake, there is no rule support to correct the time, adjust the time, or do the play over.
Either you envoke 2-3, The referee shall make decisions on any points not specifically covered in the rules, or the game is over, ala CB 5.10.1 Situation C.
