Fed calls it an "accidental appeal" but I think that's a mis-nomer.

It's a literal reading of "a force out occurs when a fielder holding the ball touches the base to which a runner is forced before the runner touches the base" (those are my words, not the direct quote from the rule book).

Given the previous FED emphasis on lack of interpretation by umpires, the ruling makes sense.
