Subject says it all. I realized my mistake as I was stirring the mash. I then crushed a tablet and added it. Mash is sitting now. I've had awful chlorophenol issues in the past and I'd rather dump now if it's too late. Any advice?
It'll work fine. You just need to prevent the yeast from getting a chance to chew on the chloramine.
But chlorophenols come from the reaction between the chloramine and the phenols in the wort, no?
I did the same thing with my 3rd batch last brew day. I just added the campden tablet half way through the mash (when I took a pH sample) and didn't have a problem.
I always understood it as a metabolic issue.

This is correct which is why I'm worried. The problem is that you don't know if you have an issue until the beer is done and carbed up. Im hoping AJ or Martin are lurking.
This looks like what we need, but it's behind a paywall.
