I can only think of one instance where I thought the ref was a little too literal. Consolation game of a 4 team one day tourney. The game didn't count, I was platooning in players every two minutes for equal minutes and then the scorekeeper (neutral) noticed one of my players was not in the book. When she asked me for the roster before the game I referenced the tourney program she had in her hand and she copied it from that and missed one guy. The ref, even after talking to the neutral score keeper assessed a bench T.

Actually the ref wasn't literal at all on this one. He was wrong. If you gave the scorer the right roster and the scorer copied it down wrong, then that ain't a T. It's a scorer's mistake. The official shoulda just corrected the scorer's mistake and added the number without penalty.
We owe you one.

Yea, this is one of those little details that gets missed sometimes. The information doesn't have to be in the book at a certain time. It has to be available at a certain time. If the coach has a printed roster that he lays on the table, and the book never gets filled out, there's no T.
