According to the basis of the movie, the whole "nose growing upon lying" logic was innately based on his CONSCIENCE and his ETHICAL SCRUPLES.
The statement in and of itself may wind up being true once his nose grows, but the fact that he was being unscrupulous when making the initial statement means that his nose SHOULD grow.
Along this same line of logic, snitching in an unethical manner may also be the truth, but I think Disney would be remiss if his nose didn't grow for mean-spirited and unethical truth-telling.
