There should be a new DIS badge: Forensic DISer, which is when we all try to piece together what happened with clues and incomplete info. LOL.
Anyway, I agree with those that said that it sounds like there wasn't FP line because the ride had gone down. When rides go down, the FP+ lines are closed. However, guests often decide that they want to wait at the outside of the stand-by line in case it re-opens (which is why you may see a regular line). If that's the case, they would have gotten a multi-experience FP+ that they could have used at any ride in the park (since FoP is a Tier 1), which explains why the CM may have indicated the could ride Safari.
And I've seen plenty of questions about FPs for the "Pandora" ride to know that many get confused between Navi and FoP. So, it is also a possibility that they got confused and maybe by that time their 1-hour window had expired.
Also, Pandora gets so busy with guests, it is sometimes hard to see where the lines for the attractions are/begin.
Anyway, if you have a FP for FoP, you would not be turned away (edit to add: you may need to pull up in your MDE if Mickey head turns blue).
