Gus,
Reread the play. When the runner was tagged, he was already back on 1B. With the citing you gave, he is LIABLE to be put out - meaning if tagged while off a base, he is out. Any way that we look at this, it's a brain fart by the runner. But we can't just call him out for being stooooopid, at least, until the rules get changed.
