Still haven't heard anyone give an answer to this.
No one has addressed it because the rules don't cover it -- it doesn't affect the game or any recognized statistics.

you can probably get a number higher that 12 if you include balks, and a rained-out / replayed game where the batter in question is the lead-off batter.

"a rained-out / replayed game"

How exactly would this situation take place? It's not the same as a rain delay after which the batter gets back the same count?
