RAM writes: "Even the very best of hechsherim is not perfect; if someone totally innocently ate such food, and it turned out to be treif, would you say that it is not m'tamtem his lev even a tiny bit? What about someone whose tefillin had been checked over the years by a dozen expert sofrim, and only decades later was it discovered that an entire word was missing; Hashem can give him all sorts of credits for trying, but do you think that he'll really get full credit as if the word had been there all along?"

I don't know what RDC, to whom the questions were directed, would answer, but I would answer "yes" to both questions.  Of course, what do I know about this.  But I think RAM's comment about "being above my pay scale" applies to almost everyone with respect to these matters.
