Therein lies the problem, the marshal may well have been working exactly to the flag regulations but a driver heading towards that station seeing a double waved yellow go to waved green in that moment is likely to believe that the course is now clear.
What needs to be reconsidered is extending the zone for waved yellows such that a hazard needs to be much further than a couple of feet past a marshal station before he goes from double waved yellows to waved green.
