I don't have my book handy, but I think the runner would be out (assuming throw beat the runner), if the umpire rules the throw took the defensive player into foul territory.
The reason is simple. The safety base is their for safety. It is not safe for the defensive player to be stretching across the base for the white portion if she has to go into foul territory to make the catch. Stretching across the base is why we have the safety base rule in place, to prevent it and the associated injuries.
