tibear,
Strange wording indeed.
I believe Don Mueller has given you the correct answer in terms of the intent behind the inclusion of this language in the rulebook.
In potential game-winning or half-inning ending situations, in order for a run to score, the BR must "complete" his award or no run scores - even if other forced runners do complete their awards.
