Batter-Runner Interference

I think this is pretty straight forward, but want to make sure.

R3. 1 out. Three balls. Pitch is wild for ball four and R3 comes home. Batter tosses bat to dugout and heads to 1st crossing home and interfering with F1 coming in to take the throw from F2.

By rule if the batter interferes with a play at home with less than two outs the runner is out instead of the batter and no run scores. However, in this instance he is no longer the batter but the batter-runner. Does this change the rule?

I assume the logic behind calling the runner out would remain and the correct call would be R3 out and B1 sent to 1st. Is this right, and if so is there a specific rule or interp to back it up?

Kyle
