So if you go to replay, you have to wipe off the final shot, obviously. But because of the bad information on the clock, you've sort of screwed them out of the chance to take a legitimate shot.

Agreed, and this is the reason I don't like the idea of an official starting a silent/visible count when the end of the quarter is coming and the clock didn't start properly. Players go by what they see on the clock. I've done it, but I am increasingly uncomfortable with it.
