Well, I was wrong. Bob Mauger, Region 2 UIC, responded without doubt or hesitation:
The runner who is passing is out. The foul situation is not applicable, because the ball is not foul until touched or the ball has stopped in foul ground. I can't compare this play with other rule books (except Fed.), which is the same as ASA.
In a parallel situation, I guess that at the levels where home runs don't have to be run out, if BR Baker passes R1 Abel before the ball hits over the fence, Baker is out.
