My recollection from ref certification training (which I completed this year) is that refs are to use their best judgement based on what they can see without entering the field. You can see the ref in the picture, doing just that. Keeping in mind that the configuration I linked only existed for a second or less, and that the final configuration is clearly a legal scale, I think that ref made the right call. No G18.
However, I would expect refs to get better at seeing momentary configurations as the season progresses, so HOT's programmers are smart to have already implemented a fix that eliminates the issue.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
