Now if the defense screws up the out at 2B, I guess I'm inclined to give R1 a little more slack...

That's what I'd have, and what I THINK the intent of the rule is, but other, equally serious students of the rules disagree. I think someone even once quoted Kyle McNeely to that effect (but I could be mis-remembering the situation).
I do think FED could make it more clear -- but they also might screw it up (again, IMO) as they did the obstrcution rule change.
