Interviewing, second meeting with HR, was told there was a mistake in the salary range for the position. They dropped it 35% to exactly what I disclosed as my current salary. I know big mistake... but I thought they would understand that I wouldn't be leaving consulting for a lateral, when market value is much higher than what uncle D is currently paying.

My thought is that there is probably no way to roll the clock back on this position.

Of course there is a way you roll the clock back, tell them you will only accept at the higher salary

There can be. You can definitely go with the stance that you applied for this job with the $ increase. Making the assumption you don’t mind staying at D for a bit, push back.
If you have to get out, try to negotiate some other perks?

That's why you always tell them the comp you want to move NOT what youre currently paid.
