I'd do it anytime there might be confusion. For example, we had a play the other weekend where R1 was hit by the batted ball. The ball continued into the outfield, R2 crossed the plate and only then did everyone realize that BU had a call. I wiped the run and made sure both benches knew.

In the play at hand, it was an "unusual" third out and so, I think giving an indication was proper (even if the ruling was wrong).
