Okay, I just double-checked:
The Doubles After Triples Rule:
If a roll is required after triplets with two dice and the result is a
matching pair of non-scoring dice, the player is allowed to re-roll.
That's what I get for not reading the fine print. NON-SCORING. So, in
my example, the pair of 10s would score, clear the flash, and YMNWTBYM
kicks in.
Never mind. Silly me.
