Well to me it is just like any other OBS call. Just cause the fielder was in the runners way we don't have OBS unless it hinders the runners ability to run the bases. CO is the same I only have Catchers OBS if IMJ it hindered the batter from contacting the ball. If I judge the batter had a chance to contact the ball then I have CO and talk to the offensive coach to get their choice of penalty or play. If I judge it did not hinder the batter then I have nothing. A fake bunt slap /chop hit goes into my judgement of whether she hindered her from contacting the ball or not.
I do see your point on INT, again intent is not an issue. BUT like OBS just cause there was contact does not mean she interfered it is judgement again. So IMO it is possible to have nothing in this case.
