Yes, it has happened to me.
No, there is not any rule basis you can use to prevent it from happenning again. Revenge wise, you could call some out-of-the-zone strikes on the batter or call her out for stepping out of the box, etc., etc., but I don't think you want to do that.
What I will usually do is keep one eye on the batter as I step out and watch the play develop. If I see that s/he doesn't see me, I will say something like "I'm right behind you" to get his/her attention. I have found that this is usually enough to prevent the practice swing.
