This is not quite a corect assumption.
First, I don't consider being intercepted a voluntary end to your
Shadowrun, yet the rulebook thingy (pg 71) says: "Intercepting a
shadowrun automatically ends the shadowrun. The Runner is considered
to have pulled out of the shadowrun even if the team defeats the
intercepting Runner(s)."
Secondly, we got a repsonse from FASA on this that was posted to
thelist and is also included in the Game Q&A still to-be-posted on our
List homepage.

Q.Bounty Hunter-can you use it whenever a runner leaves a run, for
whatever reason? Barney Phyffe, Green Apple, or even if they just fall
into the Nets or can't get past the Maglock?
A.Bounty Hunter can be used whenever a Runner pulls out of a run (for
any reason) before taking the Objective.

Basically anytime a Runner team goes on a shadowrun and fails to take
the objective, for any reason, you may use the Bounty Hunter. My
personal favorite combo...Maglocks and the Bounty Hunter. :o) I can
just picture Gore Tusk hunkered over that little Maglock trying to
guess a code while the Bounty Hunter stealths up behind, places the
barrel of his pistol to the back of Gore Tusk's head and there's the
click of the hammer pulling back. <EG>
