Offensive interference

Had a question asked of me last night and it drew a lot of discussion without resolve.

BR1 on 2nd, BR2 on 1st with no outs. Pop up to first baseman, infield fly called as BR2's first move is off the base and touches the first baseman who makes the catch.

The defensive coach wanted BR2 called out for interference but as I read the rule on offensive interference, if there is no advantage gained the touching is ignored. I understand if BR1 advances to third than there is a possibility of the second out called for the interference.

Is that correct?
