That's exactly how they modified in FIBA: if the team who should have shot the FT scores, the error is ignored and play resumes with an endline throw-in.
Quote:
44.3.2 Failure to award a merited free throw(s).
• If there has been no change in possession of the ball since the error was made, the game shall be resumed after correction of the error as after any normal free throw.
• If the same team scores after having been erroneously awarded possession of the ball for a throw-in, the error shall be disregarded.

Otherwise, the error is corrected by shooting the free throws with lane cleared and play is resumed from the point of interruption (I know, there's no POI rule in FIBA, but that's the concept).
