Sounds like runner should have either touched home initially or returned to touch it prior to 3rd out occurring. I see no major question here.
Just my opinion,

Again, non-appeal fourth outs may also occur after the third out--do you disagree with the Jaksa-Roder interpretation? However, you may be right about the fact that runners may not correct baserunning mistakes when three are out. I'm still not sure why, though, other than it would make it a lot simpler.
