I think it would be hard to give the runner "legally occupied base" status given the wording of the original play, as well as the fact that home plate is never "occupied," but is merely touched.
He said the runner collided with the catcher just as he touched home plate. It would certainly seem that he made contact prior to the touch, but you would HTBT to know for sure. Maybe we can get more information from Two Bits.

R3 and catcher tied getting to the plate
Okay, seriously, R3 beat the catcher to the plate and contact between R3 and catcher occured on the plate.
