For all other readers, this is the opinion of Rick Roder in a answer he sent to JensWo, who initiated this thread:

In your play the balk has nothing to do with the improper batter; the balk is nullified because every runner and batter-runner on the play got a base (doesnt' matter if there was an improper batter). So there is no balk and the batting out of turn is enforced as it normally would be. Proper batter is called out, the improper batter removed from first and R1 must return to first.
