Narrative:

On arrival sfo runway 28L, B767 ahead 4 mi for runway 28R. After landing, B767 cleared to cross runway 28L, on short final, it appeared B767 may not have been clear of runway. Queried local controller and was advised the B767 was clear of the runway. On clearing runway 28L at taxiway east, we could clearly see that approximately 30-40 ft of B767 extended beyond the hold bar to the runway side. Advised ground control and was told the aircraft 'appeared' to be clear from ATCT, and that airport movement area system did not warn of conflict. Poor human factor operation and reliance on airport movement area system to provide warning.
