I believe I would, as Bob suggests, simply play on in all but the most extreme cases. If some fielder decides to chase that ball to throw it back out of play, DMF. I think the only thing that could happen to cause me to kill the play would be if the extra ball became involved in the play - as in, someone grabbed it and threw it to a base.

use your best judgement. I had a stray ball come in while the pitch was on its way, batter hits a home run over the fence, defensive coach wants me to rule "no pitch". Gave him an "are you crazy" look, and he turned around and went back to the dugout. He knew he wasn't winning that argument.

Sometimes, you just have to umpire.

Outside the Baseball world it means "Common Sense" prevails.
