I have both references as well. I paraphrased the ruling from J/R already in addition to stating which page it was on.

Page 96 of the current edition of Jaksa/Roder -

Backswing: A batter's backswing occurs after he has swung through the pitch, and he continues his wing all the way around until the bat reaches the vicinity of the catcher.

It cannot be any clearer. Taking away the bat on an aborted bunt attempt is not a backswing; it does not meet the criteria of trying to hit the ball and then allowing momentum to carry the bat "all the way around". J/R's words, not mine.
