Why wouldn't it?

Consider this: suppose the ball gets away from the fielder on your play, allowing R1 to advance to 3B. If he fails to touch 2B on his way past and the defense appeals correctly, how will you rule on the missed base appeal?

I would call the runner out for the missed base. So I would have no choice but to treat your original play as a "retreat" that reinstates the force.
