Not if he remains in the basepath as he backs up

Yep.
Quote:
d) immediately upon passing home plate or the third base line;

Nope.
Quote:
e) as soon as he leaves the thirteen foot dirt circle around home plate;

You're thinking of when he loses the opportunity to run on a dropped third strike.
Quote:
f) at the point that the umpire judges that BR has abandoned his running duties;

I believe "abandonment" requires reaching first base.

(g) upon entering the dugout.
