In ASA, once the ball becomes dead, a runner can return past a base.
Apparently, both apply regardless of whether the bases are awarded or earned.

Not quite... for ASA, if the runner passes the next awarded base, the runner may not return. The places the burden on the umpire to not actually award the bases until the runner has completed his/her baserunning.
The ASA rule seems more balanced, since it does take away possibilities from the offense because of a defensive mistake.
