I'm quite confident that I have completed the puzzle correctly, but I see only 12 answers that had to be "considered 51A before being entered." Am I missing one or were the instructions possibly counting one that isn't there?

There are 13.
I suspect you are missing either of the following:
Happy to discuss via PM if I am incorrect.

I was counting only 12 too, until I remembered that one 51A consideration could be counted twice (if you know what I mean).
EDIT: To anyone still solving, this post, pre-edit, may be confusing. If so, please just ignore it. I needed to explain it, via PM, to another Muggle, and in doing so, I realized that by trying to not to say too much in the post, for those still solving, I probably only muddied the waters and added to the head scratching. I do indeed see 13 of the 51A considerations, it's just that ... oh, you should know what I mean after you complete the puzzle.

This one was a tough one for me. I had to walk away several times before that NW corner finally cracked open, but I made it to the Malt shop.

Yeah. I'm still struggling with 2d and 3d. Took many fresh looks to get as far as I have. After a couple of days, when I come back I will look at the grid instead of the clues to see if I almost have a word and the see if I can make my word fit the clue. Sometimes it does...

Not as of the last time I looked at it, which was at lunch time today.

This one was enjoyably challenging, and I found it to be one OC his toughest in a while. Looks like I wasn’t alone in struggling with the NW quadrant. I suspected, but wasn’t sure of, 1A, so that complicated matters. Thankfully the mechanism revealed itself early.
Is the answer to 10D in the wrong tense given the clue? Or am I missing something? PM’s welcome.

New to these - got the mag from my public library - and finished the puzzle over several days - NW corner last - had to go back to several clues to understand the parsings but now all seem to make sense more or less -
