Who shaves the barber?

 During a tournament game, spectators are not allowed to interfere. They cannot point out illegal moves, alert players to flag-fall, or remind players to press their clocks. If they notice an illegality, they instead can inform the tournament arbiter of what they have seen, and allow the arbiter to take the appropriate action.

So what happens if a spectator sees an illegal move played by a "playing" arbiter, and the illegality isn't noticed/claimed by the opponent?
