Depends on how the umpire interprets the wording.
The batter runner is out when the batter-runner interferes with a play at home plate in an attempt to prevent an out at home plate.
EFFECT: The runner is also called out
If you dismiss this rule, I cannot find a rule which even affords an INT call on the BR
Of course, there is always 8.2.Q (collision), but I find that a stretch to apply it here
