I don't see much difference in that scenario and the OP.....but I'm open to be convinced otherwise.....
If the retired B/R in the OP deliberatley kicked the ball, I've got no problem with an interference call, but I don't get that from the OP.

Andy:
Your play is a case where the runner was just now out, but didn't disappear in that instant. I think (hope) we all get that one.
The difference I see in THIS post, is that the batter has always been out (and maybe didn't know that, but) then continued to run and interfered. That isn't a "poof" thing, and her not knowing her status (that she is out) has no more credibility than her intent, as the rules are written.
