Oh it seems I was not clear enough; East "misused" 2NT and both minors was their agreement and explained by West after 2NT, and I can't see a "leap" from 2NT to 3♦.

East said later she thought 2NT was ♠ and ♣. 1. is East allowed to "wake up" and bid ♣ twice? 2. is West allowed to pass 5♣, or is he forced to bid 5♦ with his hand (as South said and wanted to rectify the contract). 3. does a bad defence by NS (only 1 or 2 down, instead of 3 or 4 with a top) let the bad result stand.
