Oldham substitute Kieran Lee scored a bizarre equaliser in the fifth minute of injury time to deny Swindon victory.
The Latics had led at half-time when Alex Marrow met Chris Taylor's flick.
But Jon Paul McGovern hit the post for the visitors before capitalising on a goalkeeping error to bring his side level in the 83rd minute.
Billy Paynter ran on to Reuben Hazell's poor back-pass to put Swindon 2-1 up on 92 minutes before Lee floated in a deep cross that hit the post and flew in.
Swindon manager Danny Wilson told BBC Swindon:
"It's a complete fluke, it's just a hopeful ball that's gone in, but we've got to defend it better."
"From the kick-off we kept the ball in play when we should have let it go out, then the cross shouldn't have come in."
"Overall though you've got to look back and say it's a good point in the end."
