Similarly, 7.09(k) talks of a runner getting hit by a batted ball. It mentions that the runner is not out if that happens after the ball gets by a fielder or is deflected by a fielder. But it makes no mention that the ball is dead or not.

So if it is not dead when a runner gets hit by a deflected batted ball, one would believe the same is true on the IFF while on the base. After all, in both cases the runner is not called out, so there is no interference.

I didn't have access to an authoritative interpretation to check.
