If your interpreter is correct, then Fed has made a significant change. The "accidental force play" is indeed gone, the answer to my original post. All those situations, derived from 8.2.3, in which a runner who has missed a base to which he was forced and then a fielder casually tags him or touches the base can now be forgotten.
We can also forget about trying to determine whether continuing action has stopped and the accidental force is still in effect.
It's true, as you say, that such plays are not everyday occurrences. But I've seen the play described in 8.2.3 many times, including in MLB.
