This in and by itself is up to discussion and debate depending upon which KNOWN authority you subscribe to.
Example:
R1/R3 2 outs - Ground ball DEEP in the hole between F5/F6. F6 makes a good play and throws to F4 trying to get R1 for the force out. R1 beats the play but misses second base. He subsequently scrambles back to the bag where he is tagged out. R3 of coarse already scored.
The question - can the defense appeal R1's miss of second base for the advantageous 4th out appeal to cancel R3's run.
According to Roder - NO because the action was UN-RELAXED at the time. In other words no different then if R1 actually touched second base but then came off the bag and was tagged.
If memory serves I believe (will have to check) PBUC says the defense can get the advantageous 4th out appeal on the play I presented.
Not sure if that is what you meant in your OP or not.
