I think it having been been an "echo" of a full regeneration, just as the Doctor said Jenny's having two hearts only made her an "echo" of a Time Lord, is more believable than it being the terraforming stuff working that late and that specifically after its release. But then there's lots of New Who writing that doesn't impress me.
Also, the hand only regrew because Ten had just undergone a full regeneration...
It was more than his having been through a full regeneration, it was his having been through the regeneration because of being suffused with the energy from the vortex which he spent so much of the special bleeding back out. Thing is, however, with RTD having brought "Bad Wolf" back up I'll be surprised if that particular reset button/Deus Ex Machina isn't revisited.
...they'd have to hand wave away Nine/Ten's explanation of how a regeneration works in New Who and retcon the Time War...
I'm hoping some retconning of the Time War is on the agenda, just not enough to fuck up Captain Jack Harkness's being a fixed point.
