Yes, the coach misspoke but does anyone see a firestorm brewing? Further, how many times do you correct the coach and allow multiple appeals? Without your clarification, he was wrong - end of story. You just put the other team at a disadvantage by telling the coach what to do.
The sub DID NOT BAT FOR THE WRONG BATTER as #6 Smith is due up NOW. If you put the ball in play and Smith does not take his place in the box then you have a problem. According to the OP, the sub batted in the #5 spot, right? The coach decalring the wrong batter is irrelevant since the sub is already legally in the game as the #5 batter.
Thoughts?

The OP is similar to 3.1.1H.
An unreported sub is a sub for whoever he ACTUALLY replaced; not for who he was SUPPOSED to replace.
