SRW, I am with you 95% of the way. Your cited case play has 2 outs, so the difference isn't part of the case play. The 5% difference is the order in which the baserunners leave the field of play.

If R3 from 1st enters the dugout first, then R2 from second is no longer a forceout when she enters the dugout. The third out would then be a timing play; did R1 touch home before R2 left the field?
