This is a tough occurence, but the correct action is clear from your
summary above.  The riders who followed the correct trail get their
placings -- it was not their fault the vets were not in the right
place.  The riders who went off-trail to the vets (and otherwise
completed OK) get completion only.

Unfortunate, but I don't see what else you can do after the fact.
