Leave it to Mike to figure that P&Q thing out.

2002 rule 8 section 9 k. "Runner is not out when the runner has legally started to advance.The runner may not be stopped by the pitcher receiving the ball while on the pitching plate,or by the pitcher stepping on the plate with the ball in their possession."
I can't see where the runner is allowed a free walk back to the original base on an attempted steal.
Course i can hardly see my feet...

The rule you cite is just a note stating that getting the ball back to the pitcher, and the pitcher stepping on the plate to prepare for the next pitch does not force a runner to stop a legal advance.

As to a free pass back to the original base, no one said it is free. The runner is still in jeopardy, but it is up to the defense to put them out, not the umpire.
