What difference does it make if the inadvertant whistle occured during a throw-in or field goal attempt? In both cases, you have a live ball with neither team in control when the inadvertant whistle sounded. Both cases are covered under R6-4-3(e), which says that you go to the AP.

What rule do you plan on using to give a repeat throw-in?

Does it matter that the clock is running in one sitch and not the other?

No, because this has nothing to do with time or a timer's error it's an accidental whistle.

JR and BZ:

Since there is no team control during a throw-in are you going to go to the AP Arrow if the L accidentally sounds his whistle while A1 is still holding the ball out of bounds. In both this case and the original play, the throw-in has not ended and there is no team control therefore according to your interpretation, the officials must go to the AP Arrow and if it favors Team B, Team B will receive the ball for a throw-in at the spot that A1 was making Team A's throw-in prior to the L accidently sounding his whistle.
