OOTP DOES change the status of a run from unearned to earned if the circumstances change during the inning... as it should.
(Note: I am not claiming it always does this perfectly. Just that it does it.)

OOTP will never ever be able to score earned runs perfectly. The reason being is that there are instances where certain factors just cannot be weighed properly by OOTP.
For instance, in the example you list above, if the runner on third breaks on contact, it's an earned run no matter what because the runner scores even if the infielder makes the play. As far as I'm aware, OOTP does not code whether or not that runner goes on contact.
