There's only one person in position to call it there. The refs don't call offsides, so they're not watching for it. The other linesman was in no position to make the call there, so it ultimately comes down to the one linesman at the line. If he's concentrating on the icing, I could see it being hard to notice the offside since it's so rare that an attacking player will be that deep on a play like that.
