It's perfectly clear in the article...
"Despite the overrun the crew chose not to report the incident, and started to taxi back along the runway."
AS we all lnow the tower often doesn't see incidents, and can't see loss of braking and steering control except in the mpst extreme cases.
They didn't tell the tower so the tower was unable to tell subsequent landing aircraft that the runway was in fact seriously contaminated with much less mu than reported.

Company limits notwithstanding I'd have thought that landing with a tailwind component on a runway as close to contaminated as that is pretty ill advised to say the least.
is there a reason they didn't ask for a runway change?
