Well, your PU should have "known" that the runner mistakenly went to 1B on the BALK (ball 4) pitch when you asked him how he got there. Once the following pitch occured, and the defense did not complain about the runner at 1B, I would have kept quiet and let it alone. Certainly an umpire mistake would not warrant a "batting out of order." After the game would be a good time to discuss the play and make PU aware that the pitch does not count when a BALK is penalized.
If I had to make an official ruling on this, I would probably go with the fact that it was too late to do any adjustments after that following pitch occured (to the next batter). For example, if an umpire mistakenly awards a runner 3B instead of 2B, then there is a pitch, wouldn't it be too late to send the runner back to 2B?
