Please stop and think about this:
We had the standard play of R1 and R3.
In all mechanics the PU is still going to take R1 into third (he will glance over his shoulder as the original R3 scores)if there is a ball and runner.
You have two umpires.
As SOON as the BU recognizes that the BR has rounded first base HE MUST RETREAT TO AN AREA NEAR THE MOUND. The BU must be in a place to gain "some" distance but mostly angle if the Batter runner wants to advance to second.
Think of it this way. Would you rather have two umpires covering TWO possible plays or two umpires covering ONE play.
Once the batter runner has rounded first base the runner at third is the responsibility of the PU. Period.
It is not the BUs call.
