I'm pretty sure I could sell the explanation I offered (can't appeal for missing the base she is standing on, coach).

She did miss it, coach, but once she passed it, the entire bag becomes just one bag - for both her and your fielder. She returned to that bag before your fielder appealed the original miss.
I don't think that would be a hard sell at all - just like any other returning legally to a base before an appeal.
