I agree with Mike completely. All your rationale would have been completely correct if the batter was standing in the batter's box; there, interference must be intentional. Once the batter left the box, the total onus and responsibility is on the batter to not interfere in any way.

Ruling: dead ball, batter B2 is out, runner R1 returns to 2B.
