Except that it inevitably causes problems like the one mentioned at the beginning of the thread. Once official is indicating "tip" while the other official has his fist in the air.

Don't give the "clean block" signal until the play is clearly over and you are going the other way. Then if the coach yells, give the old up-and-down-clapping motion. As always, just my opinion

I rarely used the "up-and-down clapping motion". Usually, I just shake my head when they're calling for the foul. I NEVER use the tip signal. I was taught in camp and reinforced that if you see a tip on a play that results in a whistle from your partner, go to them and tell them what you saw.
