Off the cuff thought, what's important is when the foul occurred, not when the whistle sounded. So if the foul resulting in free-throws happened pre-horn, you're shooting regardless of time on the clock.
Unless you are using some kind of PTS system, there will be human delay time in stopping the clock, several tenths, and this is just an understood thing. Unless an official has definite knowledge of the time that should be on the clock, as a result of a visible count or such, no clock adjustment can be made. So if the official calls the foul, then looks to the clock, there is still a delay and there would be no definite knowledge of the clock at the time of the foul.
I have a feeling that was rather unintelligible and I am about to be skewered though...
