All the FU has is a look at the play with a fielder in the way. This is a play that is obviously blown. How do you fix it?

The easy thing is to let FU take the heat. The hard thing is to come up with a solution within the rules.
You are absolutely right, this is PU's call, and there is no need to fix it unless someone gets the FU to ask you for help. If he does, tell him what you saw and let him make up his mind to let it stand or overturn his call. That is why I said that if he made the 1st call then he gets to make the 2nd, either let it stand or overturn it.

If he lets it stand, you just play on. If he overturns it, you still play on because in your original post

and I believe that this is right. And the FU will take the heat for it!
