Error, Or Help ???

The officials would have until the first dead ball after the clock has properly started in the 3rd quarter becomes live to make the correction. If it is merely a help situation, then once the ball becomes live to begin the 3rd quarter the goal must stand, just like any OOB call. It's too late to fix it once play restarts.
Excellent point made in your first statement. However, you've left us with two "ifs" and no opinion either way. I believe, but not strongly, that it's a help situation, but I can be convinced otherwise.
