I think your second thought is a correct way to read the rule, but I suspect that is not how "everyone" understands it. IOW, I suspect you would've gotten an ear full from the DC had you ruled her safe.

Editorial: Anecdotally, (i.e. I have no data to back this up...) the act of sliding is responsible for more injuries, and in most cases more serious injuries, than collisions at bases between runner and fielder. And, yet, rules like this continue to exist for "safety" reasons.
