Looks like this gets back to two issues we tried to resolve in the past:
1) Is an offense player who has crossed home plate still a "runner" for rule application purposes?
2) Does a retired/scored "runner" really have to instantly disappear (vaporize?) after either of those?
I would have to say it looks like the "opportunity to make a play" existed in this case, so it comes down to the intentional or not requirement.
