Molecules are much lower density than black-holes. If an object were infinitely small, it would never be hit by physical collisions. If it were infinitely massive it would never be affected by them.

I would have thought that any model of a black hole in this scenario essentially approximates one of those conditions.

The black hole in this scenario is neither infinitely massive nor infinitely small... 10 times more massive than Earth and five cm across.
A close enough gravitational interaction, even if not a collision, could do sufficient momentum exchange.
