I would say that whichever umpire sees the LBR violation should call it. In fact, I had this exact situation earlier in the season, and my PU called it. With a runner advancing from 2nd to 3rd on the play you describe, the base umpire should be paralleling (sp?) the runner for a possible throw from the catcher, so the PU should be watching the BR as she makes her way to 1st on the BB. Of course, this assumes 2-umpire system rather than 3.
Just wanted to add that this is a good topic for your pre-game discussion between umpires.
