I think the PU should signal foul tip every time (I do) so that the base umpires know immediately that was the ruling. Should the BU volunteer some help without being asked?
Around here, the BU will generally use an umpire-to-umpire signal, arm at side with closed fist (caught) or open hand (not caught).
