I didn't mean to say it was a haven... I just meant to say that she gets a little more leeway while still in the box if it hits her before she can react - but once she realizes she needs to vacate, she better avoid interfering while she does, and her leeway evaporates.

With a play at the plate, she must vacate if she has time to. But she is not responsible for knowing where the ball ends up as a result of eh defensive misplay, and, for purposes of interference, ceases to be a batter and is treated like another teammate authorized to be on the field. Unless it is intentional, no interference.
