It doesn't seem to be covered in MLBUM, J/R, JEA, or Knotty Problems.

The basic rule says runners "forced to advance" cannot cause a nullification of the run by being put out. The B/R is not a runner forced to advance.

Also, in OBR if with two outs a B/R his a HR and passes a runner the B/R is out and only the runs scored before the passing count even though the others were awarded home.
