I auggest you take this back to basics rather than thinking of the runner's and BR's status being different because it was a D3K.
With less than 2 outs and 1B empty at the time of the pitch or with 2 outs, if strike 3 is uncaught, the batter becomes a batter-runner.
Everything after that is exactly the same as for any other reason the batter becomes a batter-runner.
