More than likely, you'll get "QSO B4 QRZ" and be SOL for a second QSO
(which again, is a reason to work dupes ... just in case one of the two
made an error).

On the other hand, if you count the QSO ... you'll get credit for it ...
he'll lose and get penalized for it as a busted QSO!

The guy sort of deserves that because:

a) not getting the info correct the first time and 
b) probably not going to work you a second time for a "good" QSO

As Bob said "Set a standard for yourself that is proper, and enjoy it 
properly".  Whatever way you go, at least be consistent.
