Bear with me. Pretend it's softball. Is the BR out or safe?

I have the BR safe, but I need to get some rule cites handy.

I would have an out on this play. The initial play was a move out of the way of the base, which resulted in the runner passing first base. Now this is up for an appeal. He returns to the base and touches the bases, which removes the appeal for a missed base. He however has returned to the base and an touched it. A player may over run the base provided they immediately return and touch the base, which he has done. Now that he has returned, the protections of over running the base are removed. He then loses contact with the base and is tagged, thus OUT.
