I think it's still okay, but I'm not sure. That situation is often handled by the "neighborhood" play. The umpire will often call the runner out, even though the fielder does not have his foot on the bag. I don't think the "neighborhood" play is in the rules, but that's how the game is played. That provides some protection for the fielder.
