I'm not sure if this changes anything, but is it possible that UTG thought it was his
limp? And so UTG thought he was limp / reraising?
(The reason why this seemingly minor detail might change things is it brings it a lot closer to a post-flop situation where HJ opens without anyone really knowing if UTG checked. We would neither rewind the action nor kill UTG's hand there. If anything, we would ask UTG "Did you check?" and he would shrug and say "Yeah sure, I checked".)
