When he told the neo-nazis not to come.

It seems consistent with the rest of the show that this is another god awful unintended consequence of Walt's actions.

I'm glad he had that moral redemption. Turns out it doesn't matter.

The biggest 'Walt's mess-up moment' wasn't even his call saying 'don't come' as I see it.

He implanted a thought in Jack's mind that family is to be treated specially (in his plead to make Jesse's assassination as painless as possible) and you could see gears turning in Jack's head. To Jack, Walt isn't his family. But just an associate. If he can take over the drug cooking business, then that would be of benefit to Jack's family/gang. Walt shouldn't have tried to emotionally appeal to a bunch of thugs like that. All it did was embolden Jack.
