I haven't read the whole thread, but from the original play, I think the answer is pretty routine.
1. The B-R cannot be called out for abandoning his effort to run the bases: He hasn't yet touched first. So Roder calls that "desertion."
2. The B-R cannot be called out for deserting his effort to reach first until he enters the dugout or playing action ends.
Therefore:
The force on R1 and R2 remains in effect.
That is not only common sense, it's a practical way to handle this not unlikely play.
Now, if somebody already posted this "solution," I'm sorry. If somebody has already proved it wrong, tell me which post has the Tony.
