I'm going to add a little more to this.
First of all, it seems to me that 10 -15 ft past first base on the foul line is plenty of room for the batter-runner to realize that the ball has been overthrown and start for second before getting to the place where s/he needs to try to avoid F9.
In the play presented, I think that I would need to see some indication that the runner intends to try for second base before I would call obstruction.
