In the 2004 OBR that I have, the notes after 6.06 (c) state, "If the batter interferes with the catcher, the plate umpire shall call 'interference.' The batter is out and the ball is dead....
If, however, the catcher makes a play and the runner attempting to advance is put out, it is to be assumed that there was no actual interence and that runner is out, not the batter...."
At least to me, that seems to clearly state that the batter is out on interference, with no mention of outs or the runner being out unless they actually make the play on him and put him out.

I think you need to go back & re-read something you wrote [quoted from the RB, I think] in your 1st post:

Batter is not out if any runner attempting to advance is put out, or if runner trying to score is called out for batter's interference.

There are separate rules for INT with plays @ home and at all other bases. At home, # of outs matters.
