And, yeah, your partner hosed it by speaking out loud on the missed base. He earned every bit of the to-do he got on that one.

LMan, I have to disagree with you. This is the BU's call all the way, and he has to make a call. There is no reason to believe or expect that PU is any position to give anything more than minimal assistance on BU's call, so there is no valid reason to attempt to pass the call to PU.
Make
YOUR call, then go for help if you believe you may not have seen the entire play. In this case, "Safe; no tag"; then go for help to find out if PU had an angle and position to see a tag.
If you turned and pointed to me, I would respond by telling you "Your call!!", and point back.
