To simplify it, the foul is not "Roughing the QB". The foul is "Rouging the Passer" In your question you stated who passed the ball. The position the player was in makes no difference. The Passer is defined as any player who throws a legal forward pass, in your case the running back is the passer and is protected.

Interesting - the Fed rule book has no requirement that the pass be forward, merely that the pass be thrown from in or behind the neutral zone.
