I would also rule an out, under the theory that once the runner has left that area where he's protected, he can't re-enter it. However, if the runner was just barely out at home, I might rule that he would have made it but for the obstruction as he was returning to tag up.

Making the correct ruling in the case book play would certainly start an argument. Once again, an example of a rule that contradicts what seems right and fair.
