No. The one exception noted refers to a batted ball in front of home plate, not a dropped third strike.
I'm sure someone will opine that the catcher already failed to catch the ball, and shouldn't be protected. I will state that the batter already failed to make contact with pitched ball, and has less right to be protected.
