Since I don't think anyone has spent enough time thinking about this minute issue, I have spent a little more and have had a moment of clarity on the gin question.

I don't think a player timing out should ever be able to claim a gin win and simply be granted it. A timing out player should not be rewarded for running out of time when there was any chance no matter how remote that they could have played (and then rolled) the match into a loss had they not run out of time. Without a concession by the opponent, they should simply be allowed without the clock running to keep playing until they actually do win (by completing the bearoff or due to opponent's concession) or until they screw up and create a losing sequence for themselves at which point the opponent can claim a win on time (subject to verification by the director).
