The World's ability completely stops the flow of time, and therefore the actions that occur during it could not be erased. If DIO stopped time 4 seconds into King Crimson's time erasure, he might erase the circumstances surrounding the time stop but not the time stop itself. Even during erased time, actions still have consequences as long as they don't directly affect Diavolo. So the time stop would still occur, and during the time stop DIO could do whatever he wants to Diavolo. Once the time stop ends, King Crimson's ability would kick in again and erase the remaining 6 seconds.
