Now, is it possible that the plate umpire falls down, and U3 reads this and deviates to make the call? Yes, and that is an appropriate time for U3 to bust a*s and get the best possible angle. U1 is too far away to have credibility here. My Google-fu is weak this morning, but somewhere out on Youtube there is a video of HP umpire Mike Bartling making a call on the batter-runner at 2B. Find that one in the manual.

In 2 man, if the BU stays foul ground on a play on the BR at 1st, and the ball gets by, PU is expected to bust up the middle to take 2nd. In 3 man, if both U1 and U3 chase, or if U3 chases but U1 gets pinned, then, again, a good PU will pick up the BR at 2nd. MB would certainly fit the description of a good PU.

Is that in all sanctions?

IMO, yes, it's just good crew teamwork. Of course, ASA/USA mechanics indicate that if the base umpire in 2-man goes to foul ground for a call at 1B, Cthulhu will emerge from his watery lair and spread madness over the face of the earth. I kid, I kid....kind of.

By the book, USA/ASA doesn't acknowledge that a BU might EVER need to stay foul ground to avoid interfering with a play at 1st, or to see the play develop; therefore, there is no approved mechanic to address that.
Now, having said that, if it actually happens, PU would get great kudos for covering 2nd as an adjustment. NCAA makes it a standard coverage if/when it happens (with a perceived higher level BU making the decision to stay foul ground, mind you). I would expect MB to react on that basis, no matter what the game on YouTube represented.
