This is one of the few times that when an official leaves his primary to make a call that he has no business making

Granted he blew the call, but what justice are you doing to the game by not calling what you see? If I see an honest foul, even if in my partner's area, and he doesn't call it, than I will. It doesn't bother me the least bit in the sense that I know what I saw and that it gave a disadvantage to the other team.
Any call is the official's call. It's his business to make the call. I'd say you were out of line saying he has no business doing so. An official that won't make a call just because it wasn't in his "primary" needs to consider the disservice they are doing to the game. Call what you see - don't pick and choose.
