Uh, yep, you (and Mssrs. Jaska and Roder) are right. OBR rule 7.06(b) comment: "when the ball is not dead on obstruction and an obstructed runner advances beyond the base which, in the umpire's judgment, he would have been awarded because of being obstructed, he does so at his own peril and may be tagged out. This is a judgment call."
So I would have the BR protected to first, and out at second.
