Case 5.2.5 A, (2008-2009 Case Book) specifically rules out allowing a goal with 0.3 seconds or less even if the ball is caught, and released before the horn sounds.

it doesn't rule out allowing a goal. You just would not be allowed to catch the ball. You can tap the ball in for a successful try if the team can manage to work that out.

Please read it carefully. I expressly cited a catch and shoot, not a tap. By the case cited, even if the caught ball is released BEFORE the horn, by rule, the goal does not count.
