I have a better plan:

Don't grant the timeout. After the ball rolls OOB ask the requesting coach if he still wants the time out. Give the ball to the other team regardless of his answer.
If you blew the whistle because he called the time out I think you are obligated to grant it. Your only other "out" is an "inadvertent whistle" but I still think you would have to give it back to the team that originally had the ball. There's "more justice" in what you're proposing above but I don't, in my opinion think, it's correct.
