That dead ball occurred when the foul was committed. You then administered one FT. This makes the ball live for the second time since the "error/mistake." So now it is too late even for a 2-10 error (which in your case this was not). You actually had this whole discussion during the SECOND dead ball following the mistake.

My understanding is that the dead ball of a free-throw doesn't count. I can't find a rule reference right now, but I think I'm right about this.
Help, anyone?

I hadn't thought about this course of events. By golly, he's right. When the ball is at the FT shooter's disposal, it is live and is now too late. That ended the first dead ball that occurred after the error.
What you may be think of is an error that occurs due to erroneous FTs. You can shoot 2,3,4, or even 10 FTs and the correction period is still valid since the clock hasn't been started. So in that case, the live-dead-live-dead-etc doesn't matter.
