Will this be a problem or are they flexible? I'm still in Washington until 4/27, so it may be possilbe to tussle with the consulate if necessary, but not something I look forward to.

Anybody dealt with this sort of thing before or have an good guesses about attitudes at the HAN entry point?

Don't screw around. Think risk-reward. You have plenty of time to get an entirely new visa if necessary, so contact the consulate and get their advice. My guess (based on absolutely nothing) is they'll fix you up for free or minimal cost. If they charge you try and get the tour company to eat the fee...although I'm guessing maybe you declined their offer to handle the visa?
