The only reason I can think of to have Rory step away (other than bad plotting/CGI convenience) is if Rory is plastic Flesh as well. Which would still be bad plotting, because position didn't save the Flesh!Doctor from the melting signal (which, as you point out, was itself bad plotting since there was no reason to set that scene up anyway). This episode gives me a headache. And that's not even mentioning the things I've seen passing reference to about the most recent episode, since I'm trying to stick to the US schedule. If what I saw was accurate, barf.
