I think that by committing the overt act of decoying the defense (getting in a rundown), the "runner" is in fact interfering—by rule. He is doing more than committing the "act alone" of legitimately "continu[ing] to advance." He is intentionally attempting to confuse the fielders.
"Continues to advance" and "runs the bases" aren't necessarily the same thing.
If I have time today, I'll try to find something on this in the J/R or Evans or PBUC. I hope somebody beats me to it.
