Just like when a BR runs on a dropped 3rd when she can't advance, the defense bears responsibility for knowing BR is already out.
I don't call much U-Trip. Is PU REQUIRED in U-Trip to call an out in this sitch (if she's out, that is)? I generally just say strike three, regardless of where runners are or how many outs.

This was discussed on another board and the decision was that in this instance the umpire can not unring the bell.
