True enough. But, for other runners, they are out if they fail to touch the base before the fielder tags the base. (8-4-2j). So here, the "tie goes to the fielder."
OBR is the same way (iirc -- I do know that the rule at first and the rule at other bases are opposites).
I think JR has this as one of the 234 contradictions in the rules.
