WP on ball four, does run count?

I finally found my copy of Nemec's book and found this interesting OP. Bases loaded, 2 outs with 3-1 count, tie game in the bottom of the 11th. Ball four is a wild pitch and R3 comes home with the apparent winning run. The B/R joins in the celebration at the plate instead of going to first. VM comes out to discuss with PU that B/R is obligated to touch first. PU (Votagglio) says the WP took precedence over the walk and eliminated the B/R's need to go to first. Nemec says this OP is still uncovered by the rules (1994). Rule 7.08 says the B/R must touch first before the other runners are forced to advance but that wording doesn't really seem to address the issue. Is there an appeal at 1B that might constitute the B/R making the third out before he reaches first that would negate the run? Has the umpire manual been revised in the meantime? Thanks.
