R1 returns to 1B while throw is going from F7 to F3. F7's throw sails wildly beyond 1B, so R1 runs from 1B to 2B and arrives there safely.

Maybe I'm missing something here. If R1 touches 2nd then returns to 1st, what's that problem? The only time R1 would be subject to an appeal is if R1 headed for 3rd, then turned around, missed 2nd and went to 1st. If this were the case and the ball was not overthrown to 1st, the defense could appeal that R1 missed 2nd base.
In this senario, it seems that R1 touched 2nd then turned around and eturned to 1st. If this is correct, the there can be no appeal on R1.
