So am I correct? A back row player can contact the ball with an overhead pass (setting action) [Rule 9:5 Art 1, Def'n 2] on a serve so long as you do not play the ball back across the net?

refnrev, no...a back-row player may contact the ball in any legal manner and return it to the opponent's court at any time as long as the ball is NOT above the height of the net (see Rule 9.6.6).
The more I read what you saw, the more I am sure that the officials in question have been making an error in judging ball-handling.

Thanks for the clarification. I was assuming that it was understood that it wasn't above the height of the net in my comment. I should have been more specific. You know what they say about assuming....
