Considering we have time travel, pocket dimentions, and quite possibly dimentional travelers (sliders), it is rather hard to pin down just what is going in in Haruhi's universe(s).
It is also difficult to know just what happened in this instance. Was the work altered directly creating an alternate timeline? A new dimention? Did it just change reality for the entire universe without changing the timeline or going into an alternate universe. Where what happen happened in all possible futures. Meaning that Kyon woke up one morning and found the world different and spent three days there before going back in time...after he supposedly corrected the changed world before he woke up, and he fell down the stairs (after being healed from being stabbed), and yet doesn't remember that part at all. So what did happen? Maybe that will be covered later...maybe it won't.
The simple problem is...how do two different versions of the same events take place at the same time and yet both be "true"? And not only does it bring up the question of "how do you save yourself from dying by coming from the future" but also "how do you manage to do something you didn't do?" (namely fall down the stairs to hit your head when you were actualy stabbed in the side).
