My assumption is that the ball remains dead during the time R1 is headed back to 1st and that there is no way for the umpire or defense to get back to live ball status and jeopardize the runner.
Please be sure to recognize that "when the ball goes into dead ball territory" is not relevant.
Then we have NFHS. As I understand NFHS, the runner(s) can not return past a base after the ball is dead, so in this case R1 could only go back to 2nd, not be able to tag up and be out on appeal, even if awarded home.
