Note that 7-3-1 only applies if the batter "delays the game" -- not likely if it's just to switch boxes.
Also, the case that you cited -- 6.3.3F shows that it's legal for the batter to switch -- it's the pitcher that's restricted in the case.
Note that the OBR rule is also "more restrcitive" when there's an ambidextrous pitcher and a switch-hitter.
