[blml] Are opponents entitled to knowing about themisunderstanding?

(About the five tables)

[HDW]

I would say that the normal ending of the story at tables 1-5 would be that
West would pass 5Di (not knowing about the misunderstanding and thus
believing that South bid his longest minor). North would of course have to
pass, and the AS would be 5D-3, -300.

This story does not address the "lack of consistency" you cite, because the 
normal ending, as long as the opponents are all informed at the end of the 
hand that they have been given misinformation, is that they will say that 
they would have doubled 5D. At all tables the "Blackwood" explainers will go 
for 800. So it is not such a great example.

Though it does, as DALB notes, highlight the danger of a dWSist who forgets 
to mention the misinformation.
