I wouldn't consider the play over while the runner still has base running duties to complete and is in the act of completing them.
Using your "logic"...
R1 on first base. Batter hits fly ball to F8. R1 takes off at the crack of the bat. The fly ball is caught. R1 realizes his mistake just short of second base, reverses direction and is heading back to first to correct his mistake.
Would you grant the defense time while R1 is heading back?
Why or why not?
How is the missed first base play any different?
