"Since the BR did not run or attempt to reach 1B, the umpires on the field decided to have the Batter continue his turn at bat with a 1-1 count enforcing the illegal pitch. The offense than protested."
The fact that the runner didn't take off adds a kink because the defense could of had a shot at throwing him out. That said....
"Umpire inadvertently (okay, he just screwed up) calls "time" and BR picks up his bat and returns to the plate"
Seems to me that the BR stopped with the time call because he had dropped the bat and for me that'd be enough to say he gets first on the inadvertant "time" call.
