Ever since FED tried to drop the "accidental appeal", they've been trying to change this play to get it right. I think they still need to work at it.
My advice (and it's just my opinion) is to ignore this specific case play and rely on 8.4.2B instead. It's nearly the same play, except the missed base is second (by a forced R1) and a specific, intentional, appeal is needed. IMHO, this play demonstrates teh "one call" that FED wants us to make.
