As I recall, the play as being described is the one exception to the "it has to be either interference or obstruction" philosophy under ASA rules.
The reasoning is that the ball, the defense, and the batter are all in a small area around home plate. If there is a tangle between the catcher moving out to play the ball and the BR running to first base and neither does anything to intentionally hinder the other, it's a play-on situation.
It may be obstruction or interference, or it could be nothing, but it is definitely NOT a do-over.
I will see if I can find some documentation of the rue interp.
