Why is this any different than a Runner rounding 2B after being forced out at 2B and continuing on the 3B?

Because the ASA rulebook SPECIFICALLY calls this situation out as different from each other.
Why would they do so? My guess - in the sitch of runners running around the basepaths, it is much more likely for fielders to assume that if they see a runner running around out there - that runner is someone they can throw out... but in the D3K sitch, the fielders KNOW that a runner between home and first in this sitch cannot be a valid runner.
