In the past FRC HQ has been more willing to do this when the mistake alone could have cost them a trip to the Championship, while we have no way of knowing if the 233 alliance would have won in the end.

HQ adjudicating which transgressions get freebies and which don't is a slippery slope - one which invites public discussions about which teams have been *more wronged* by game and/or administrative blar beyond their control.
I'd prefer HQ focus their efforts on minimizing the controllable root causes that lead to such transgressions occurring. That is the kind of "freebie" I think
all teams would genuinely appreciate!
