And further to that, the time frame you mentioned, "second live ball following the error" applies to cases specifically listed, none of which are your situation.
My suggestion is to fix the score as soon as you can, but preferable during a dead ball. If not, then while in backcourt possession of the team whose score will be affected. If it's late late in the game (perhaps < 1:00 or 2:00), fix it right away no matter who has team control.
The timekeeper should not blow the horn, imho.

Totally wrong. See Case Play 2.10.1 Situation K...which is exactly this play. It is a correctable error and must be fixed before the second live ball.
See also Situation L...which is essentially the same play...but explains what happens if the officials did not see if A1 was beyond the 3-point line.
I see a lot of folks wanting to do "equity" by getting it right at any time...but this is a specific play covered by rule.
