It is a correctable error. Proceeding to the 1-and-1 as if the T never happened constitutes failure to award merited free throws for the T.
The remedy was incorrect. Wiping the free throw would be proper only if it were an unmerited free throw, which would also be correctable. But correcting a correctable error does not involve backtracking or undoing game action to the point of the error.
They should have counted the front of the 1-and-1, shot the free throws for the T (as if it had happened between the two free throws for the 1-and-1), and then returned to complete the 1-and-1.
