I don't see this as being overruled. If a downfield official throws a flag for PI and the referee tells him that the pass did not go beyond the line of scrimmage or was an illegal forward pass, he is not overruling the other official. He is saying, yes, that would have been PI but it's not because...

Same thing on this play, I throw my flag because B jumps offside. The referee or the umpire says yes he did jump but A caused it by a false start. It happens all the time. I have B jumping but the umpire sees the center move the ball, etc.

Finally, same thing as an incomplete pass. I rule complete but the Umpire sees the ball hit the ground from his view. No problem at all if he waves it off.

Those are plays where nobody is saying your call was wrong, only that their call "trumps" your call. That's different than someone telling you to pick up your flag because there was no foul
