What does Omega do if your algorithm contains "if ⊥ is provable, then give $100"?
Could you be more explicit about the intention of the question?
Omega's surgery doesn't introduce contradictions in your code: it doesn't (say) make Pi(10000) evaluate to 7, it just replaces Pi(10000) in the code with 7, which gives perfectly good code, just different from the original.
