My first thought as well. Why does the R need to walk all the way to table with U1 right there. In fact, I've always seen that as part of the job of the U1 to make sure the table is good before ball is tossed.

As for facing the wrong way. Its one of those things that could happen from time to time. If partners could make eye contact or subtly get R's attention that would be great.

If not, just something to laugh about in locker room and a reminder for focus.
