T's become part of the OT, why wouldn't this?

Because the game did not actually end in a tie. The rules say that a bookkeeping error can be corrected up until the final score is approved. There scorebook error must be corrected in order to determine who wins the game. As long as it's discovered prior to the beginning of the OT, you have to go with the book.
