As described, once F4 steps on the bag, R1, the runner from first, is out, this removes the force on R2, if he stays on the bag, he's safe, despite the tag by F4.  However, if R2 is tagged first, then the bag is touched, then yes 2 outs.

Then even more fun if he then throws to first for a pretty easy 4-4-3 triple play.
