Apparently the BRD 2006 "discusses both possibilities."

{From pg. 277.}
OFF Interp 313-462: Fitzpatrick: A runner who misses the plate may return to touch it even after the defense has attained a third out during live action.
See Play #237-462. Ruling: Legal. R2's return was still part of the "playing action." The runs scores.
{From pg. 278.}
AO 62-462: J/R: R2, 2 outs: ... "If R2 returns to the plate and touches it after the out at second base, his "touch or pass' of home plate has occurred after the third out, and cannot be counted; this is a time play." (81)
