Thanks for the quick response.
How do I indicate on my tax return that this backup withholding should not have been withheld?
You don't, and it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter at this point why there was backup withholding and whether it was right or wrong. You simple include the backup withholding as one of your tax payments (along with your job withholding and any estimated tax payments you might have made). All your payments are a credit against your tax and you get the difference back as your refund.
