... because the base is in fair territory. Even if a runner leads off in foul territory (as they should, like you pointed out) they have to momentarily reenter fair territory to return to the bag, just as a batter-runner has to leave the running lane to touch 1st.

It's interference. Too bad.
A runner could "accidentally" get hit to stop a DP. And it would be hard to call it willful and deliberate in the situation you described.
