This goes along with a thread that went aroud some time ago...if a runner retreats to 3rd and overruns toward LF, can he go directly to 2nd base to avoid a tag or must he touch 3rd again before going to second?

Where his is is where he is.
The key word in the reinstated force is "retreat". You can't call an overrun proof that there was an attempt at the "next" base (or a retreat).
If an overslide/overrun of 2B in this case means that the runner has attempted go go back to 1B then that would also mean an overslide/overrun of 1B by the batter-runner is proof that he has attempted to go to 2B - thus liable to be put out.
