Good question though ... hopefully somebody will help us out.
Also, in thinking about the few that come to mind, most of the time they're crowded around the plate, often mock holding each other back and don't crush in on the home run hitter until the moment he's touched the plate. I'm not sure it happens that often, though there was probably an instance where it did and players are probably made well aware of what can happen if they do touch him. I'm also wondering if there's a rule about coaches because they shake hands with the base coaches on every homer...
