I've had the sit where the batter is still in the batter's box and there is a double hit, but never when the bat and the ball collide while in mid air. And you're right, I won't ever forget this rule.
As for the time issue, you can debate all you want, but if I am going to call the batter out for the ball hitting the bat twice (one rule) I am certainly going to allow an inning to start with time on the clock (another rule). Reminds me of a comeback to a complaining coach, "Which rules DO you want me to enforce, coach?" I guess with experience, comes wisdom.
