To me the PU can tell if the ball crosses the plate which the BU may not be able to see effectivly but the PU can't have his eyes in two places watching the pitch and the runner. I am assuming it is the BU's call.

Whoever sees it, calls it. It is an immediate dead ball, but has nothing to do with stealing. This was the rule before stealing and has not changed.
