I'm not sure I agree with any eating of the call. The call was made, was incorrect, and endangered the defense. We have mechanisms within the rules to address exactly this situation, and it's not just our option, but our OBLIGATION to fix the situation.
To that end, I believe that where the ball was IS important. If this was just a bouncer that catcher fielded cleanly, I think that while batter was put at a disadvantage by not at least TRYING to advance - the vast majority of cases of this play the batter is tagged or thrown out.
However, if the ball was rolling around or especially rolling away - I think you have to place BR on first and everyone else 1 base.
