At the last moment the exhaust turned green. That's consistent with the fuel running out, the engines running oxygen rich, and subsequently "engine rich". So I would put my money on actually running out vs a measurement error.

And even if they had caught it it wouldn't have been worth much as the expensive part is the engines and they wouldn't have been reusable.
