When they say this, I have realized they were talking about steals or situations where the BR was put out. If the BR arrives at 1st safely on a bunt, the BU is "stuck" at covering his bases and can't cover home... as he should not be planning to do in any cases.

This is true, but at no time do the mechanics ever suggest the BU head home. What happens if, in this scenario, the throw to 3B is a good throw and R1 pulls up and tries to return to 2B? More than like, if the BU is going to cover the plate, they're already heading that way.

The PU, if using the proper mechanics, should be in perfect position to cover 3B and home.
