If you interpret the case as the runner from 1st left early and was out on the double play and the runner from 3rd left and scored after tagging but before the out, the run counts unless an appeal is upheld on the tag up at 3rd.
If you interpret the case as the runner from 3rd left early and so did the runner from 1st and the runner from 1st was out on the double play; then the run counts unless an appeal is upheld on the tag up at 3rd.
If you interpret the case as the runner from 3rd left early but not the runner from 1st; then you have wasted play at 1st, still 2 outs, the run counts unless an appeal is upheld on the tag up at 3rd.
If you interpret the case as the runner from 3rd left early but not the runner from 1st; and the throw resulted in the runner from 1st being tagged out; then if the runner from 3rd left and scored after tagging but before the out; then the run counts unless an appeal is upheld on the tag up at 3rd.
BTW, the effect of IDB is IDB, no outs possible because the defense is playing with the runner(s)' mind(?); but that also means no advance on defense misplays after the drop. It should be a DDB like OBS. The batter is out anyway because of the catch/
