But, if you go by the strictest interpretation of the rule, it seems like it is a "get all you can" if the ball lodges in the fence after a pitch. For all practical purposes (and I'm sure there are interpretations to support this, hopefully), give the runner only 1 base.

7.05(f) was the only mention I could find of a ball being lodged in a fence. Same logic should apply.
Oddly enough, I've only seen two occasions where an attempted pick off throw got by the fielder and lodged in a fence. Both happened in the same game, once for each team and both times with attempts at third base.
Weird.
