The instructions explicitly stated that this is NOT okay.

Sure there is.

Boot from a recent Arch Linux live CD, mount your file systems to /mnt
and run
 arch-chroot /mnt /usr/bin/bash

Then make sure there are no files left in /usr/sbin, /sbin and /usr/bin
- most likely, you need to uninstall a package that you built yourself -
you can properly rebuild it later and install it again. Or you need to
uninstall a package that used to be part of Arch, but it no longer needed.

When you are done, pacman -Su should work flawlessly (the package is
already in your cache, so no network is required). To be safe, run
'mkinitcpio -P' so your system boots correctly.
