My rules interpreter got back to me and gave the following example:

If the ball becomes lodged in the catchers equipment(example batter gets third strike) he starts down to first, there are runners on 2nd and 3rd. The ball is dead the batter-runner is awarded first. The other runners do NOT move because they are not forced to move. If the bases would have been loaded during the ball lodging in the catcher's equipment' then ALL the runners would have advanced, on the dead ball.

I have no idea where this ruling is coming from.
I think it's OBR... although i could be mistaken
