Here is the ruling.
[B]4.12.2C Player And/Or Team Control
4.12.2 SITUATION C: With 3.9 seconds remaining in the 4th quarter, A-1’s throw-in pass is deflected into the air by B-1. While the ball is in the air, an official inadvertently sounds his/her whistle. After the whistle, the game clock still shows 3.9 seconds remaining in the quarter. RULING: The clock shall remain at 3.9 seconds,

I agree with the Team Control concept, but the ball was touched and some time should come off the clock. A previous interp included some phrase such as "likely tenths of seconds" in a similar play.
