Fair catch signal

Watching a game last night I saw an incident I haven't seen before in 20+year of officiating.
4th down K punts. The ball is grounded on the R 25 and as it bounces up R1 signals for a fair catch. He catches the ball and stand their and the covering official blows it dead. There was also a holding on R2 that was enforced as PSK but the did the signal as a dead ball invalid fair catch signal and marked off a total of 15yds. I know they shouldn't have done both as they were both live ball fouls but is giving a valid signal after the ball has been grounded a penalty?
