All pilots make mistakes. All controllers know that. The hold short line is intentionally located far enough back from the runway that a controller can see that mistake and take appropriate action in time to avert a collision. That's part of the controller's job. Their role is not just to issue instructions, it's to verify those instructions are being followed. That's why it's called Air Traffic Control and not Air Traffic Request. Rather than the pilot of the landing aircraft having to observe the error and take evasive action on his own initiative, the controller should have seen the mistake and instructed the landing pilot to go around. This should have taken place 10 seconds sooner than the pilot-initiated go-around, and would have been a much safer procedure. The controller should have been watching that guy much closer because of his confusion, revealed by the botched read back of the first taxi instructions he was given.
