Yes, that's my opinion too.

I think the problem here is not the word order, but the question whether
{tlhoS} can modify the time stamp. I think it cannot. From my feeling,
the adverbial modifies the entire sentence, so the meaning would remain
"last year, something almost happened".

I would try to make it two sentences: one for the event, one for the
time that's not finished yet.

{wa' ben [something happens], 'ach wej qaS wanI' DISjaj.}
