The clock has to start. 5-9-3 says If a free throw is not successful and the ball is to remain live, the clock shall be started when the ball touches or is touched by a player on the court. Nowhere in the book does it say that the clock will not start if a team has requested a TO prior to gaining possession. Since the clock has to start, you have to allow the timer one second to stop the clock.
The clock must start and stop.

Tony,
Thanks. Your arguments are sound, as usual.
This still does not feel real comfortable.
I will have to chew a little more, before I can swallow.
Thanks again.
