Best case, they get the space but now they've signed the LRSA for it. Do they also need to sue ARIN to get the LRSA unwound in the same action? Wouldn't it be easier for everyone if this could all be avoided?

The seller can insist that the check clears before they sign the LRSA.

To my knowledge, the transaction between the transferor and the recipient is independent of ARIN and
the transfer process makes no provision for the transferor to initiate proceedings with ARIN to reclaim
the space, so, I don't see how your scenario applies.
