As far as I see it, we have two options here. We either,

1) Agree an out-of-universe explanation for why it's invalid, as per most other stories we call invalid

or

B) no, 2) We make it semi-valid -- an odd technicality of an unclear incarnation (since he never says what regeneration he's in) -- who isn't invalid but who is obscure enough to be mainly ignored by editors (see: every weird one-off PROSE or COMIC Doctor incarnation).
