Thus the disparity.

First, I don't believe there's any basis to "wipe off" any action that has already occured, so any baskets, FT's, fouls, etc. will stand. Second, I believe the case says if we started with more time than allowed, and it is discovered after the correct time has passed, then no correction is allowed. So, in your play, V will be at the line for 2 FT's, down one, with 0:48 left to play.
I would think this would be a real stretch, though, to have that much time come off before someone recognizes the original error.
