No, it is considered a foul ball. Literally, the same result as if after touching the bat, the ball hits the player's ankle while standing in the batter's box over fair territory. The correct ruling is foul ball.

It would seem the difference in the OP and the example you cite is that the ball is still in fair territory (over the plate) in the OP and in the batter's box in your example.
What am I missing?
