It's not like a safe/out simultaneous call that could cause mass confusion. The guy not seeing the INT isn't going to be making any sort of gesture, verbal or otherwise. I hope, anyways. If it's blatant enough that the BU can see it and his partner's picking daisies at the dish, then the BU should make that call. But a lot of the time, BU has already pivoted towards the play at 1st.
