I don't think I'm really in doubt about the correct ruling here, but I just thought I'd check what other people do in this (not uncommon) situation:

2..3(A)...X...3
.P......P.....3....P
4.....P......P.....P

I don't remember the auction exactly, but the first two calls and the final contract were as shown.
2 was weak, 3 alerted, asked and explained as "CRO" (a popular Ghestem variant which would show and over 1, but is not played over weak twos).

Before facing his opening lead, the 3 bidder volunteered a correction of his partner's explanation, saying that 3 was natural.

At this point the TD is called. I know you're going to look into possible use of UI, MI, UP et al. at the end, but what do you do now?

I think you should "tell off" overcaller for the incorrect timing of the correction.
In principle you should allow responder to change their final pass - Law 21B1a does not concern itself with how the misexplanation came to light.

I think the "telling off" can wait but what cannot is making sure that both defenders are aware of their UI obligations.

That's what I did, but I had a feeling of doubt as I was doing it that the non-offenders shouldn't be getting a chance to change their last call, because they shouldn't have had a correction of the misexplanation, but in retrospect I agree with you that what I did was right.
