Shouldn't this be similar to the liability of the BR at first base on an overrun? We don't treat a player as having touched a missed base in the middle of playing action at that base for appeals purposes; why would we for award purposes?

If the BR oversteps first on a walk he can be tagged out in FED. He is awarded the base but if he overruns the bag he is in danger of an out.

I haven't found the situation at second yet, but the runner at second is also in danger of being tagged out for overrunning the bag.
Thanks
