Look at it this way, since R1 never touched 3rd, she never relinquished her claim to 2nd base by rule 8.3.3 (FED). Now since the BR was tagged out first, R2 could legally retreat to 1st since it is now oppen, so technically, R1 still "owns" 2nd so R2 is the runner who should be declared out.

I get what you are saying, but it seems to me that BR tagged out only matters if she has not reached 1st base and she did, so the other runners are forced to a next base (R2 to 2nd, forcing R1 to 3rd). If R1 is forced to 3rd as I believe, isn't she out if tagged anywhere else?

Not if any of the following runners have been put out prior to her being tagged if in contact with a base.
