That's not a very good counter-example: it's *bhúh2-tis >
Skt. bhú:tis, Grk. phúsis.
More challenging is *bhuh2-tó-, where we would expect
*bhuthó- > Skt. *buthá-, Grk. *puthó-. In fact, we *do* have
an otherwise unexplained short -u- in Greek phutón (and also
phúsis). Olsen's theory explains this quite adequately. How
do you? All we need to assume further is a slightly
irregular application of Grassmann's law (*bhuthó- >
bhutó-), and restoration of /u:/ in Sanskrit.
