Messed up ruling in a tournament?

I was playing in a $1,100 multi day tournament at the Wynn. There was an older Asian woman to my right in the 4 seat who was basically quiet. She had roughly a starting stack of 30,000 chips.

She is in a hand in the BB multi-way when on the river a guy bets 4,800. The next guy folds and she wants to fold. She moves her cards slightly (it would not be remotely considered a fold) and puts up 300 chips past her cards as her SB for the next hand. She doesn't realize that a guy to our left in the 6th seat still has cards as they are hidden. The guy who made the bet says that its a call and she has to put up the 4,800 chips. The Dealer says he agrees. The Floor gets called over.

Because the Asian woman doesn't speak English particularly well I make it clear that the last hand was hidden and that she had no intent to call. She was putting out the exact SB amount.

Personally I thought she might be forced to give the 300 chips to the guy just like they make you do it when the SB calls the BB not realizing there was a raise (pre-flop).

But the Floor ruled that it was a call and she had to pony up 4,800.

I was stunned that the guy had actually tried to get the money knowing full well the woman was not calling his bet. I have never seen anything like it.
