If the BR is in jeopardy (where he normally would not be) then all other runners should be subject to the same enforcement. R1 is out after he passes 2B and is tagged (1/2” or 3’  ).

I said pretty much this as well, his answer was, "But the runner hasn't touched second, he missed it. He's protected to the base."
I'm now convinced that his ruling is wrong.
