Or the Trackball might have previously been scored, and had not yet crossed the other finish line, so it was ineligible to score again.

This is the key to one of the best defensive strategies this year, so I'm more inclined to say this was the case. It's very difficult for the crowd to discern whether or not a trackball is eligible to be scored again.
I'd say the only way a ref would miss the string (or G22 penalty) is if the trackball is coming right for them and they have to move for a second. In all of the 100's of matches I watched this weekend, that happened only a few times. Most every other time you could see the little red or blue flag go up indicating the ref was definitely watching.
