Example: Line up is B1, B2, B3. B1 singles. B3 then hits into a double play. Defense appeals the batting out of order, so 2 outs on the double play and B2 is ruled out for not taking her turn at bat. Three outs ends the inning and the second inning is started with B3 as the proper batter.
My personal opinion is that this above situation is what some people are saying is the proper ruling but not what I think the rules committees intended. I have only known one person who was on a rules committee of a national softball organization. He spoke of how the rules formulated by the committee were not always printed as intended after editors and printers got through with them. Before I would believe this above example to be their intent, I would need further specifications, perhaps in the form of a case play.
