While the runner can't be called out between the bases where the OBS occurred, she is not protected when advancing beyond the base the umpire judges she would have made if OBS did not occur. If that base is 2nd in this situation, once she re-touches 2nd and then leaves for 3rd, she is attempting to advance beyond her protection and is liable to be put out.

Speaking ASA, this is not true. If she is either between the bases where the obs occurred, or not yet reached the base she is protected to, she is protected. Either. Protection has precedence. ASA added the exception regarding the play on another runner this year, but unless that is the case, she would still be protected.
