Put them together (and consider the fact that no rule contradicts), and a runner that hasn't completed her running responsibilities is still a runner, despite having touched home, if she attempts to return to complete them. By reversing, she undoes the run, which run can only then score by returning to home prior to the 3rd out.
If she reverses after having completed her running responsibilities, she is an already scored runner, her reversal does not undo the run, but she can be called for interfering with another play.
If she does not reverse, her running violations are subject to appeal, including a fourth out appeal.

I think this sums it up.
I snipped the "red herring" paragraph, because it is the same issue we beat to death in an earlier topic.
