I'm confused too! It was late and I'd been trying to make sense of it for hours...
I suppose what I was thinking of was this whole "time can be rewritten" thing - if the Doctor is imprisoned "forever" in 102AD, he can't be around defeating Daleks and Cybermen and Autons and everyone else from 1963 onwards ;-) because sticking him in that box in his "present" affects his past.
At least, that's what I think I meant!
Alternatively, your way does account for the jacket!Doctor who appears to be running around trying to sort things out.
But yeah, whatever it is, it's one helluva paradox.
