I dont think they have to cancel it; AFAIK it never becomes a gezeira by
default. See Hilkhos Mamrim 2:6. Adding that to halakhah 7, and it seems
that an active bitul is only when the lack of acceptance is first found
later. As opposed to halakhah 6 -- where we know for sure the tzibbur
never took it on.

Two cases I can think of are stam shemen, a parallel to stam yeinam
passed in Daniel's day, and tevilas Ezra.
