Bases loaded, no outs, R1 crosses the plate before anything else happens, F3 settling under a foul pop (ok, for those definition guys... a pop up over foul ground). BR, seeing that R1 is dead meat for leaving early (as is R2 and R1), plows F3 before he can make the catch.
BR out for INT. By RULE, R2 is out and R1 scores. And R1 cannot be ruled out for leaving early, as there was no catch (EVEN if F3 actually catches the ball - the catch never happened - it was after the immediate dead ball caused by the INT).

Nope, R1 cannot score on a foul ball.
