Interesting point. In the past, teams have been penalized when the partner not doing the Roadblock offered too much advice to their partner.
This was a weird situation where James was just thinking out loud and happened to guess the right answer. I don't think he was intentionally trying to help.
I'd guess they were considered safe because Anthony hadn't officially started the task yet when James came up with the answer. If they had already been at the location and James had overheard another team say "Goats on Roof" and James shouted that out then, there probably would have been a penalty.
It would have been interesting if they had been penalized for that, but Aarthy & Thinesh wouldn't have been because there's no penalty for accepting help from another team.
