"Dead" cube illegal?

Another scenario:

Post Crawford, the leader, having been doubled, reaches a position where he believes he is mathematically certain to win the game. He subsequently redoubles. Instead of merely snatching the cube the (slightly puzzled) trailer looks at the board again and now believes it is indeed impossible to win (with legal and correct plays from both sides). Instead of simply conceding the match, he passes the recube. Very soon after this, he looks at the board again and realise that it was mathematically possible to win, and points this out to his opponent. The opponent agrees. The passer claims the match should continue. TD?!
