Terminology is important.
BR (in all of those rules you quote) means Batter-Runner. Period.
In the original play you posted, you don't have a batter-runner. You have a runner. None of the parts of the rule that mention a BR are relevant to a runner.
Looked at that way, the rule is clear, and is in the right place in the rulebook.
