I agree that the "norm" here, or the default, should simply be an out.

Not obvious to me at all. Batter put herself in jeopardy. If
"ball got seriously away from the catcher, and it's obvious the batter runner would have achieved first", then she is further responsible for failing to advance on her own volition.
I cannot conceive of a circumstance where I would award a batter 1st base on a D3K where she didn't run.
