I am sorry, I only do FED. With your reputation I can only assume you are correct in other then FED. But when you say
"The batter-runner beats the throw to 1st base by a full step, but he did not touch the base as he crossed it. He is past the base when the ball arrives. The 1st baseman takes the late throw while touching the base. Is the runner out?"
Ths correct answer in FED is "YES". Case Book see 8.2.1 Comment and 8.2.3.
