OK, but what if the BR does vacate only to allow the fielder room and/or to avoid int?

(I am sure that you mean "Runner," not Batter Runner.)

In the same way that the rule protects the runner if she stays on the base, then she gives up that protection if she voluntarily leaves the base.

Defender - catch ball while standing on base, look at umpire and appeal for leaving early. That's almost too easy!
