I have never been in the alternate position, but I have to take exception to the postings that the alternate should keep is mouth shut.
The CCA Manual gives a very good description of the duties of an alternate official. One of the duties of the alternate official is to help in a situation such as the first one in the original posting. From the description of the play, I cannot tell of the officials did talk with the alternate or not (an educated guess is that they did not), and that the alternate waited too long to let the officials know what he knew.

Mark, I agree the alt. is the 1st or 2nd person to ask. However, the alt. was not at the table. If he is not at the table then he is not an alt. for this situation. So, he should have zipped it.
