Say the Director rules a result for one team/pair and another result for the other team/pair. When they are comparing their results/doing the results one team/pair finishes +17 while the other -23. So if this has to be translated to VP's it will look like: 15.75 and 2.89 (or 17 - 11 by the old 30-VP table). Is there a case of this happening in a team match in a world championship? Is this allowed? Can you link me to such a case?

Be patient! I'm sure someone will come along who takes note of such things.

I'm more worried about the alternative case where director makes an error, both sides get plus scores on the board and a match finishes with more than the normal number of VPs in total.
(20 point VP scale example, 3 IMPs to both sides on director error) A 12-12 draw causing the team that went home 11 VPs ahead of both these teams with 2 to qualify to then finish behind both of them seems rather unfair.

It seems a lot fairer to do this than penalising a team directly for the director's error.
We've had one match at Brighton in the past where both teams won: there was a single IMP in the match and a board was unplayable due to the neighbouring table announcing the result, giving us both 3 IMPs. As the Laws do not mention 'protecting the field', all you can do is be fair to those involving in rulings.
