Here's my opinion.

The wording in the rule supplement refers to a batter becoming a batter-runner, and legally dropping the bat to run. That didn't happen here.

There is no reason to absolve a batter from interfering with an action that has no legitimate part of the batting action, even if accidental. She did it, it interfered, she pays the price.
