I'm not sure I see the conflict. The Trace just detects any use of magic in the immediate vicinity of an underage witch/wizard. It cannot, however, distinguish whether the magic was done by the witch/wizard in question, or by someone else. As far as I know, this is consistent with the (false) theory that Harry was still being Traced in Tottenham Court Road. If he had been, the Trace would have alerted someone (at the Ministry, I guess) that Harry Potter was in TCR and that magic was being done around him.
(Addendum : Since we've started talking specifics, I changed the thread title.)
