I actually don't think the NTSB will care about that. They look at the big picture, they don't split hairs like the FAA would.
While I don't think the lack of issuing a word will be a contributing factor, fact is it wasn't issued when it should have been. That word puts the the course of action on the pilot. By trying to take positive control of the situation, this controller unfortunately made things worse.
Proper phraseology it scrutinized by everyone involved. From the NTSB to the FAA to faciluty management to the trainers who trained that particular controller. I've sat on a few "tape talks" and when things go bad (operational errors) they look for anything that wasn't by the book.
