Mine just went off by accident for the first time 10 minutes ago, I only stopped it in time.
Phones often don't abort 911 calls at all. It's not good to assume that cancelling the call "mid-dialing" is sufficient. Stay on the line, explain what happened briefly and let them confirm that it was a mis-dial. If you don't they might get treat it as a no-answer dial and will dispatch resources to your GPS location (Thanks e-911) anyway.
I got to it within the 5 seconds before initialising the call.
