If the runs score, are they earned or unearned?

It depends on how things work out.

The official scorer cannot assume the double play, so the error is only responsible for one out.

If any runs had scored before the second out of the inning was recorded, then those runs would have been earned.

However, if Tillman had managed to record the 2nd out of the inning without allowing any runs to score, and then runs had scored, then those runs would have been unearned.

He knew the answer. He tried, and failed, to make a point.
