Answer
Although those steps to fixing the error follow tournament policy, the Knowledge Pool team agreed that the game should not be backed up in this case because Alice had the opportunity to manipulate cards in her library. Despite the possibility Alice would follow the same line of play as before, there is risk that she could change her decision by choosing to not immediately re-play the Veteran Motorist, and still know the top two cards of her library.
