A similar discussion was held over in the baseball forum. Time is actually granted whenever the umpire gives it. The formal signal is just that ... the formality that lets everyone know its been granted. I think any umpire that was half way to calling time (i.e. hands almost up) in the described situation would call R1 out if R1 had been tagged out while getting back to his/her feet after assuming time had been called. The important point however is that time should only be called at the end of all playing action.
