I don't see any data loss necessarily, that depends on your
application. If W says all those fields are fine as they are, I trust
W. I trust the last one. How do you know W is wrong a priori?

The order in which the application sent the forms may be irrelevant
(again, I am using "may"). If W says the state is T, let it be T. He
was in particular saying that it is not S (for S != T if you allow me
the detail :).

It is your application who defines what's a reasonable behavior.
