Seems to me that the infraction actually occured before the run scored (runner left early which obviously happened before a legal tag). The fact that the out call was delayed until an appeal was made which must wait on action to stop should not give the offense an advantage. If POE 1K is in regards to a general appeal play that results in the third out, I can see the run counting but in this situation, I can't believe the spirit and intent would allow the run.

In ASA, an appeal may be made during a live ball by any fielder in possession of the ball touching the base left too soon on a caught fly ball, or by tagging the runner committing the violation if the runner is still on the playing field. (POE 1B)
Note to Steven: POE 1K is: ASA Points of Emphasis 1K, titled/labeled APPEALS, TAG-UPS.
Hope this helps.
