I lean towards the PBUC enforcement as well.

I don't know if things have changed but Rick Roder had this to say on this ruling in an email exchange in 2003.

"The technicality in MLB 5.10 regarding initially giving the guy home is something very few MLB umpires even know about; in reality they would award the runner third and call him out on appeal if he didn't return to retouch.
In other words, enforcement mirrors the PBUC wording."
