It's one of those unspoken rules that being near the bag while a runner is coming at you is OK when turning the DP.  I learned that in high school, they don't call it strictly because they don't want someone to get their knee taken out by the guy sliding into them. Although back then, it wasn't illegal to deliberately slide at the SS and completely miss the bag either.  They really should clarify the rules on that, now that baserunners are expected to slide at the bag and not the fielder.
