If seems this makes no difference iffin the base is missed or not.
The runner has not attained the base therefore he is simply "out" or am I missing something?
Every guy we call out at first is called out because he is "short" of the base, right? If we didn't call these guys "out" wouldn't you have a situation (which we often see) that when a b/r is obviously out he runs through the base and does not touch it . . . ?
You only signal "safe" if the b/r misses the base and he has either beat the throw of F3 has been pulled off the bag.
The only real question here seems to be: "when does after" occur.
Am I misunderstanding this situation?

I think the B-R could miss the front of the base with his lead foot, and be completely over or beyond when the ball arrives, thus "beating" the throw. At least that is how I understand the situation.
I just don't see runners miss 1B that often (very rare) on bangers.
