Just a trivial distinction
Calling it an appeal play is a technicality, an amusing trivial distinction that, like I said, only matters if it's (a) the third out and (b) happens either before or after another runner crosses the plate on that same play, which means you've got a sort-of time play to take care of.
In all the other cases you named where the runner does various tricks between first and second to delay the tag-out, you've left the area of appeal and the fielders are tagging out a runner in jeopardy. As with when it was an appeal, the status of a crossing run still depends on which happens first.
