Mike,
Depends. If runner appeared to just be doing her job, going back to dugout then probably
not. Would have to be there to see it. Runner would be concreting on being sure to touch
HP, and not where catcher was.
HTBT I guess.

Maybe you misunderstood what I said. I'm talking about a runner who has scored. Touching the plate is not an issue here. She is past the plate, play on her is over and instead of returning to the dugout behind the catcher, walks in front of her and gets hit by the throw to prevent R2 from scoring.
BTW, what is the runner doing pouring concrete? I don't believe returning to the dugout is part of a player's responsibility as much as it is to get out off the way, just as a bat boy or ODB would.
Instead of looking at 8.7.P, look at 8.7.N. Is it possible that may apply?

Not sure why she is working conrete on a hot day likes this. 
However, I like this:
That's what I'll try to get done. Cannot expect the player legally advancing to avoid something they most likely never saw coming.
