The case you mention is the one that came to mind immediately. Without getting out my rulebook I would imagine that the runner is awarded home, and the batter has a ball or strike called on him, depending on what it was, and the ball is dead so no other runners can advance I also imagine it was most likely a ball, because I can not imagine a runner going in standing up, with a batter in place to swing. At the higher levels the pitcher may also realize the runner is stealing and throw an inside right handed batter) to give the catcher a good chance at the tag. He may even throw so far inside that he hits the runner, before he reaches the plate. This is another one of those situations that I have never seen.
