I'll bet there are many umpires who would only award R1 second base.

That one doesn't get screwed up much.

More like... Runner on 1st has already passed 2nd on his way to third when the ball is miraculously caught. As he's heading back to 2nd, the ball is thrown to first, and goes out of play. There are umpires who will put the runner on 3rd. Had this exact protest just a few months ago.
