Accidental false claims to citizenship are a "whoops, game over" situation which crops up on immigration advice forums from time to time. The USCIS policy manual [1] specifically mentions the I-9 citizenship question as grounds to make an inadmissibility decision, and cites relevant immigration appeals cases.

Interesting. It requires willful intent (this person had none) and proof of timely retraction (this person made numerous good faith attempts), both of these tests should clearly not be met.
