I've read all of the references to spectator interference and they all seem to be a spectator touching the ball or interfering with a fielder. I think I would call the runner out in any case, since it was an unintentional confusion, and the balls were very close together. I think the best course is to make the call to nullify the interference. In this case, the interference was confusion, the catcher obviously was able to make the out. That's the most likely outcome without the interference.
What would be really interesting is if the pitcher picked up 1 ball and threw to first and the catcher picked up the other ball and tagged runner from 3rd, and you couldn't figure out which ball was which
