HSA Contribution Instead of FSA on W2

My employer issued me a W2 that has an HSA contribution coded in box 12a (W) but I do not have a HSA.  Instead, we have an FSA.  I understand that if I have this contribution on my W2 that I must report it on form 8889.  I have asked my employer to reissue the W2 but their CPA is telling them that it doesn't matter and won't be a problem and told me to file my return as it is.  I don't feel comfortable filing as it is and reporting an HSA that I did not contribute to, but is it okay to omit this entirely and file my taxes correctly, even though the W2 reported to the IRS has this HSA designation?
