Yep, the runner is safe. The only rule which would allow the runner to be ruled out would be if the umpire thought it was intentionally done to confuse the defense (like that is hard to do) or make a travesty of the game.
However, in SP, if the umpire called time after the play seemed over prior to the runner returning to first, the runner should have been instructed to return to second base before continuing with the game.
