Mike,
I agree with you for an active runner but if I read the rule right there must be intent with a retired runner.
Rule 8 sect7 P paraphrased a runner that has been declared out intentionally interferes with a defensive players opportunity to make a play on another runner.
It is the runner closest to home that is ruled out in this situation but this rule would be in effect if in you judgement the runners actions were intentional. So if I read it right intent is required for a retired runner to get INT call. Exactly to your point of they can't go "poof" once they are out, they have to mean to interfere to get called.
