I hate the phrase, "They were just doing what they were supposed to do," as it's usually a crutch for, "I'm not sure what the rules so I'll call nothing."
HOWEVER,
The tangle/untangle of batter/catcher on a bunt or shortly hit ball is the ONE time that phrase is appropriate. On this play, umpire should signify that he saw the action and ruled it nothing as described by mbyron - if he does so, the argument is likely MUCH shorter.
