Yes, in the case brought up in the OP, the official messed up.

Actually, it does. The coach is only required to provide the information to the official scorer. That's it. 10-1-1
In the OP, the coach provided the correct information, so there should have been no penalty for the scorer to correct his own mistake.
2-11-11 "...A bookkeeping mistake may be corrected at any time until the referee approves the final score...."
This is a bookkeeping mistake and should have been corrected without penalty.
