This doesn't seem that difficult to me (so I'm probably missing something). As I see it, R1 (who has tagged up and advanced) can occupy 2B legally until R2 returns and touches the bag. Since R1 was tagged before R2 returned, R1 is safe at 2B. On the appeal, R2 is of course out. In either scenario, R1 is safe and R2 is out.

If R2 had returned to 2B and both runners were on 2B, then R2 (the preceding runner) would have the right to 2B, and R1 would be out when tagged. But since in that case R2 would be back at 2B, the appeal will come too late, so R2 would be safe.
