I think you need to remember that a runner owns a base not forced to leave until s/he is either put out or safely touches the next base.
Another way to look at it is, if R1 successfully returned to 2B and the defense tagged both runners with the ball, who are you going to rule out?
IOW, R2 had no right to 2B so moving her back shouldn't be a problem.
