I agree... but if this got to a protest committee, one could argue that you simply had two umpires who disagreed and made different calls. There's no reason that the resolution of this situation should be to go with the PU's call - there's at least an equal reason that the resolution should go with the BU's call. Yes ... a VERY tough argument to win in a protest situation. But conceivable.
