Not as long as your partner still had position to cover the runner going to 3B and see 1B at the same time.

Exactly (to the rest of your answer, too, but this is the part I want to comment on).
With the runner on 2nd, the PU's priority will be the advancing R1, not the play at first. Making the call at first with a runner on 2nd has always seemed really clumsy in the 2-man mechanic. If your partner has decided R1 isn't going anywhere, he may stay on the play at 1st, but it is risky to assume so.
