Wow, that's a stretch. Runner is only halfway, and you're assuming a tag would have been made? I think it's more likely R1 sees the fielder with the ball and retreats back to first ... and depending on the age, we might not even get a throw to first.
I agree with you about not scoring the run unless he was about to score when the bad call was made. I would rectify this by putting everyone back on their TOP bases.
