How about this: Does ASA allow the BR to intentionally contact a foul batted ball with her bat or body as she's running up the first base line if it appears it's going to go into fair territory? If not, where's that consistency you mentioned?

Yes, the body is the same. The batter-runner is only out if they contact a fair batted ball before reaching first base.
See 8.2.F.4
