Why do you say that this applies only to a D3K? Look at 12.19. It mentions a lot of different interference types but does not include the one you mention, a D3K. And if you look at 12.19.2.5 it covers the specific situation from the original post. But then someone added the situation of bases loaded instead of just 1st and 3rd at time of the batted ball. So it looks like the line in section 12.19 addresses this situation: "
If the batter-runner has not touched first base at the time of the interference, each base runner shall return to the base legally occupied at the time of the pitch."
There is no mention of a D3K in this section.
