3rd strike appeal mechanic

2 outs runner on third. check swing on a curveball in the dirt and ball gets away from the catcher. Runner on 3rd scores easily. After retrieving ball catcher asks PU to appeal swing and BU says he went. Batter still in batters box is tagged out - inning over and run does not score.
Options seem to be:
1.) Umpire timing is correct.
2.) PU should have immediately gone to BU not waiting for appeal request.
3.) PU should not have granted appeal.
4.) BU should call the swing before being asked.
5.) BU should have said no swing.
Thanks for the comments.
