In each of the options in the question, the runner missed a base, either in regular or reverse order, and, according to the rule, as written, is subject to a successful appeal.
Rule 5 gives the order the bases must be touched for a runner to score a run, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, home.

And I have games all the time where bases are NOT touched but runs are scored. It's not an epidemic of biblical proportions or anything, but they don't HAVE to be touched for a run to be scored.
so...
IF there is NO APPEAL then we have to go on the assumption that the bases were indeed touched.
And we are going on another assumption, as Greymule said so eloquently, that " 'unless he corrects his mistake' is so obvious it doesn't have to be written."
