It seems to me that anytime the BR is put out before reaching 1st, the force is removed (e.g., caught fly ball, tagged on the way, 1st base touched before the preceding runner is out). Why should abandonment be any different?
I guess I better read 8-2 because this doesn't make sense to me out of context:

-----------------------------------------------------------
Other than on a home run or four base award, runners cannot advance unless forced.
