Your cards did not hit muck or another players live hand, right? OK, if another player, as this is happening, makes comments about no burn and this is veriied by the dealer, the action should be backed up to this point; where a sensible player would CHECK (before declaring all-in, to see your action), but that is another discussion, and betting should begin again at this point. The floor was protecting the game by splitting the pot and if you both agreed, that is an ammicable and table friendly thing to do, however, I believe a case could be made for your hand (but I guarantee, one person at that table, knowing "bill" would say that they heard you say 'fold').
