Pete,
The play circumvented the rules. Let's drop the theoretically bs and ask ourselves this - "it is just a coincidence that the player jumped through hoops to circumvent limits instead of simply calling"?
If you think that this is a probable scenario for somebody that has a history of cheating then so be it - reward a scammer.
On the other hand, if you feel that this player with a history of cheating is most likely pulling another fast one to circulvent the rules then so be it - protect people from scammers.
I will take the probable choice -- #2.
And for the people going on and on about bugs ... what is so hard to understand that errors in software happen? They happen in the vast majority of applications -- they are not planned, so get of your high horses and join the rest of us back here in reality.
