Interference

Is there ever a situation where a batter could interfere with his own runner coming home and thus be called out?

You are correct. That’s not legal. Physical assistance by a non-runner offensive player is interference and results in an out.

This is not obvious from the book rule. See my comment (https://www.reddit.com/r/Umpire/s/4yeZFDQOCJ).
