Hand #3 Seat 7 has button, Seat 8 small blind, etc.
End result is Seat 6 posts but doesn't get the button and gets a free hand in the worst position. What's the harm?
Seat 7 never plays the big blind. Seat 6 wants to post in on Seat 5's post, technically, this is a "rollback" hand to when Seat 5 should have played the big blind.
The easiest way to settle this is outlined in my post above - allow seat 6 to post in as UTG for one BB, then pay the SB the next hand when Seat 5 has the button.
