I dont see how intent can be read into the question... least of all "obvious" intent (if you consider this a double play to apply that portion of the rule - which is the only portion of the rule that gets the lead runner called out).
According to 8.2.H EFFECT (of BR interference): (besides BR being out):
The ball is dead and runner(s) must return to last base legally touched.
Your referenced 8.6.C also supports Runner must return to base... not calling out the R1.
