Are you saying:

1. I didn't see what I saw and the orchestra should have been confused?  
They weren't and the work was performed successfully without any 
explanation of that notation from the conductor.

2. Kalmus made a technical error?   I guess the same effect could have 
been achieved with a Caesura.

3. You comment only refers to the OP's example?  I didn't check that 
carefully.  I was just responding to your definitive statement on the 
use of fermatas.

Have fun,
