Who cares? A specific law (here 47E1) overrides any general law. "A lead 
or play may not be accepted by his LHO in this circumstance". So 
presumed declarer remains declarer since he can`t become dummy. Overly 
kind? The defenders are going to defend double dummy. If this is kind... 
If you meant kind to the defenders, well, they are the non-offending 
side here, having been misinformed about the lead, so why should they 
have a problem?
