Light bulb goes off...
I've just had a "duh" moment.
You're asking if 8-8E applies to a batter-runner, right?
Hmmmm...
The ASA rule 1 definitions say a runner has reached 1B and a BR has not. Therefore, rule 8-8 does not apply to the BR.
Rule 8-2 contains no equivalent rule to 8-8E.
NFHS solves this problem with the following very useful statement, A runner is a player of the team at bat who has finished a time at bat and has not yet been put out, or has scored. The term includes the batter-runner and also any runner who occupies a base. (2-14-2)
Hmmmm...
I'll get back to you...
