I think what they(we) are trying to tell you is that you need to make some sort of call here. This exact situation is unique in that it is likely that your partners are looking in your direction. But they won't always be. What if, for some reason, no one else was looking in the right direction. You don't KNOW what they were looking at, since your eyes were on the cloud of dust. Since this is YOUR call - you need to make it. And then (since you know you didn't see the whole play) be completely willing to discuss with your partners when asked. Worst thing that could have happened here - you make no call, announce you saw nothing, and for some reason your partners also have nothing to add.
It's also unique in that play is essentially relaxed after the call you need to make ... but it won't always be. What happens on this exact play if you try to ask partner for help, but other things are happening. You make no call, and then F5 fires to 2nd base for a play there. Can R1 run? Should F4 throw home to get him? No one knows - you didn't make a call.
In short (I know --- too late!), I think it's pretty much unanimous here from your umpiring brethren --- MAKE A CALL. You can always sort it out and fix it afterwards if necessary. But MAKE A CALL. In this case - you didn't see a tag. So the call is SAFE. You have to SEE an out to call an out.
