I would also have thought that given they can get bags to the carousel inside 25 minutes they could probably get bags clearly identified as "tranship" to the correct flight inside of a 60 minute window.
If I was travelling with carryon only I would be fuming.
I see what you are saying that the decision to offload occurs at a certain point, but that certain point surely belongs more than 5 minutes beyond the MCT.
