If the girls is in the 8, facing forward (towards goal), it is shooting space. whether or not they are retreating is not a factor.
I agree it may not be fair, but that is the rule as written.

Rule is "ability" to shoot a legal shot not "intent" to shoot.

I have less of a problem with shooting space and more of a problem with the lack of dangerous propels being called. Just because the ball doesn't hit the player doesn't always mean it isn't a dangerous propel.
