I would suspect those who agree this is interference will say the "act" is continuing to run in the base line after being retired.
Personally, I don't agree with it. But I come from a baseball umpiring background, and "over there" retired runners aren't expected to immediately disappear, as BretMan mentions. In fact, some baseball rule sets explicitly state that if a runner continues to advance after being retired, he/she shall not by that act alone be considered as interfering.
I'm just trying to find out if there is something similar in softball.
