Both, actually.
The exception is that a retired BR, who has struck out, but who runs anyway in case the third strike rule applies, cannot be considered to be committing an act of interference merely by running to 1B.
The defense (specifically, F2) is expected to know the situation and play accordingly.

So that last sentence in 8-7-P
should read:
This does not apply to the batter-runner
or retired batter running on the dropped
or assumed dropped third strike rule.
