I noticed it too. I think the rule in the NFL is that if the ball is snapped right at the timeout signal, the timeout doesn't count.
I imagine this was done because of icing situations where a player could "call a timeout" right before the ball is snapped and then decide if they actually called a time out based on how the play occurred (or didn't occur).
It's a shame that it happened, but I think allowing time out to be called right before a snap no matter the circumstance would cause problems for the aforementioned reason.
