Once and for all--INT on foul pop

I don't have a Jacksa tome, nor time to unearth an interp. So I am going to this august body for your input. Assume MLB rules.

R3, 1 out.

B1 hits popup near 3B line. F5 draws a bead on the rock. R3 wanders off the base and unintentionally interferes with F5, who would have caught the ball with ordinary effort (this is a given, as is the INT). The ball's trajectory is such that if it had been caught, it would have been foul. The ball lands foul and stays there.

You now where I'm going with this. If R3 is declared out, what happens to B1? Maybe some of you have seen this a bazillion times; I haven't. It was a hypothetical brought up by one of my gang.
