Shipwreck: I would agree with you that the overrun first base exceptions would not apply, as the LBR was not in effect when the runner touched 1B.
So then you go back to your basic rule that after LBR is in effect (pitcher has ball and runner is legitimately off a base), the runner is allowed one stop, must decide to go to 2B or back to 1B, and then proceed non-stop.
Ol Blue: One of the most mis-understood of the LB Rules, especially by coaches. 8.7.3.a is very specific: "a B-R who rounds 1B towards 2B may stop. . . . . It doesn't say how many steps, nor how far. Just allowed to stop. Then go forward - or go back. Technically, the runner could go within 1" of 2B, stop, and then return.
