The run would still count.

Also note - even if R1 did not tag up, the run still scores! Unless and until the defense also appeals that this runner left early as well, getting a "fourth out" to nullify her run.
I don't think we should be so quick to say an appeal play is a timing play. Some are and this is one that is, but if a runner misses a base that they are forced to, then it is an appeal that is a (force play) and the run would not count if the appeal was the third out.
