If the official is looking at the clock when they blow their whistle and see .7, then time expires it is not a timing error.
However, if the official blows their whistle and then looks at the clock and sees .7 and time expires, the interval between the whistle and look is interpreted as lag time and .7 is put back on the clock.
Time can only be put back on for a timing error, so unless your timer is psychic, you can't put time back for an official's error.

I'm not sure that I understand your interpretation of this rule. Your correct in the first part because the timer is allowed one second lag time to stop the clock.
