The error isn't allowing the basket.
The error is not calling the violation.
The error is not correctable.

Think of it this way. What if the ball had hit the rim, rebounded by A2 who travels before tossing it to A3 who hits the game tying 3? Is the traveling violation a correctable error? Of course not. In both cases, it's just a violation that the officials missed.
