You may be correct regarding where R1 started out. I doesn't really matter why the play was being made at 3rd.
The only thing that I can guess is that the umpire judged that she stepped out of the box and into the catcher. No intent required if she's out of the box.
I think that's how ASA 7,6,P reads, but I'm waiting for the experts opinions.

Kevin,
You are correct, if the batter stayed within the confines of the batter's box, the action must have been intentional. If the batter left the batter's box, it is just plain interference.
