I think this is mostly a good answer from a practical perspective, but OP also says "The dataset and analyses were handled incorrectly, and the published results are wrong and substantially different from my original findings". That seems to go a bit beyond a supervisor just polishing up some work for publication. Obviously more detailed info would be necessary to draw further judgment.
