Uh, yeah. Citizens are barred from a flight or entry into the country as a result of an update to a watch list. Happens a lot. And yes, the individual is barred entry and is either held until the issue is resolved, or sent to the consulate to have the issue resolved. These issues normally can be resolved easily enough, but they can take hours to confirm identity, depending on the mood and competence of the individual doing the validation.
