This rule says exactly what it means - you guys are reading an extra comma or semicolon or something into it somewhere.
No runner is removed from the base to bat in their proper position. Stop. Exception (noted by the word "except"!) - a runner removed because of (2) above.
In other words, unless the runner was removed already, you do NOT remove a player from a base in order to bat - that batter's spot is simply skipped with no penalty.
Very easy. Don't make it harder than it is.
