The OP is very similar to the play in FED where a retired batter (by virtue of an uncaught third strike where she is not allowed to advance to first since there's a runner already occupying it) runs to first base anyway and hinders a throw being made back to first base to pickoff the runner diving back. It's specifically covered in a case play (8.6.18.C) in the 2013 FED case book.
Sounds like ASA would treat this play differently.
