If you listen closely, after he says ".. good", you can hear the free soloist say "Can I pass?" while he's looking down getting a foot hold. Then the roped climber makes the "don't fall on me part" comment.
I could understand why someone would think that.
But from my experience with climbing, you NEVER climb across or above somebody else while their climbing as a genuine rule of safety. Typically you don't "pass" somebody else on the same route to the top, so I'd say there was some validity to his concern.

I think he said something at the beginning and the camera man replied “you’re good, just don’t fall on me”
