Answer: OBR The (dumb) runner is OUT, but the run scores.
See 7.04(b) A runner forced to advance without liability to be put out may advance past the base to which he is entitled only at his peril. If such a runner, forced to advance, is put out for the third out before a preceding runner, also forced to advance, touches home plate, the run shall score.
Then there is a similar play described, with an explaination. Basically, it is not considered a force out.
Since this play occured at 1B, whether the code allows the BR to pass 1B on a base on balls or not, does not protect him. He never touched 1B in the first place, so the tag is an appeal that he missed the bag.
