WMB,
Here's a solution to the real problem you present with
"Exception: two strikes on batter, check swing on a pitch that gets by the catcher. You called a ball and, in esessence, told the batter to stay home. Go to your partner who reverses the call and batter is an easy out. (By now the catcher has retrieved the passed ball.)"
When working with someone I'm not sure of, I'll go to that partner about a checked swing as soon as the ball gets by the catcher. With a partner I know, I know he'll echo my call in that situation.
I am going to disagree with you about the view of the checked swing. Yes, you are only a couple feet away and your partner is 70+ feet away - but your partner is watching the whole play instead of tracking that borderline pitch. As PU, your priority is the pitch, not the swing.
