Your interpretation was my first impulse, SamC, and that's why I didn't call the runner out for being out of the baseline. But perhaps it matters that he ran significantly farther from the catcher than was necessary to avoid interfering with him. I believe that in the runner's mind his maneuver was to avoid a tag. On the other hand, there wasn't a tag, so the difference between "tag attempt" and "possible tag attempt" is probably significant.
