No it's not... there's nothing mentioned about a runner
not entitled to run.

P. When, after being declared out or after scoring, a runner intentionally interferes with a defensive playerÂ’s opportunity to make a play on another runner. The runner closest to home plate at the time of the interference shall be declared out. A runner continuing to run and drawing a throw may be considered a form of interference. This does not apply to the batter-runner running on the dropped third strike rule.

(Underline emphasis added by me.) If the batter was eligible to run on a U3K, then the rule wouldn't apply. But since our batter
wasn't eligible to run, the rule is still applicable.
Or is this rule written weird and I'm reading it wrong?
