Thinking about this a bit more...
There are two kinds of dead ball (this is my invention, so bear with me):
1) Those where the base running rules are in effect, and
2) Those where the base running rules are suspended.
In the first category are home runs and any situation where bases are awarded.
In the second category are foul balls, offensive and defensive conferences, and your general time out (F2 and F1 confer, that sort of thing).
In the first category, 8-7-D applies, but not in the second.
