"Slight dealer mistake"
First to act bets $12 and the second guy immediately folds.

This is absolutely the dealer's fault. "The second guy" has no obligation to protect his hand, or his action. He is blameless.

How is it the dealer's fault? Only thing the dealer can do is wait for the player to put his 12 chips on the table and then push back 6 chips and declare the bet as 6 dollars. The second guy immeadiately mucks, so the dealer can't push the cards back to the second guy and clarify for him that the bet was really only 6 dollars, and let him decide again.
How can you say that "the second guy" has no obligation to protect his hand or his action? When you sit at that table, you look out for your own good. Be it protecting your action or cards, or making sure you know what limit you are playing at. The dealer can only do so much, he can't babysit every player and protect him from every little thing that can go wrong at the table. Always make sure to protect your own hand, no one else is gonna do it for you.
