I'm not exactly sure the circumstances of the case you're referencing, but that may not necessarily be incorrect.
If the batter gets down a reasonably good bunt that would have otherwise sacrificed the runner to the next base regardless of the error and the batter being safe, often times the batter is still credited with a sacrifice in addition to the error. It would be scored, for example, "Sacrifice, E-5," or what have you. Ultimately, it's up to the discretion of the official scorer, so it's not always so cut and dried.
