Play: R1. bouncer up the middle. R1 slides (legally) into second but makes contact with F4 who is about to field the ball. The ball bounces into center field.

I can't imagine any of us having anything other than interference here.

It's the same in the OP. The defense has an absolute entitlement to an unhindered opportunity to field the batted ball. Intent doesn't matter. The fact that the runner was "doing what he was supposed to" doesn't matter.
