I don't think that "the consensus appears to be faulting a player for not reminding his op that he's timing out..."
Certainly, if a player has yet to make his move or, has done, but appears to be still thinking about it, the consensus (thankfully) does not seem to be that we are obligated to inform our opponent of an impending time-out. The case here is really whether we should allow our opponent to re-roll and then continue playing when they haven't pressed their clock (and also then waited for us to press ours).
I also think that the consensus is not "rewarding the timed out player by giving him a second chance...". It is, rather, it is felt by most that the reward of a time out victory for an opponent who (of course) was perfectly aware of the irregularities - but allowed them to continue - is inappropriate.
