So her body mass and physical strength were sufficient to tip it forward
enough to access the plug on more than one occasion, but not enough to
budge it when she really needed to?

Makes sense to me.

Except for the part where she was in the habit of tipping a bookcase
away from the wall merely to access an electrical plug but she could no
longer move the bookshelf when she was fighting for her life. And also
the part where a bookshelf tipped into the room due to a body being
wedged in behind it didn't look odd to anyone.

I give up. But I still cannot grasp how she could get wedged behind a
bookshelf that she could move to fall behind but not move to escape
from. That is ... why could she move it the first time but not the second?

I'm walking away from this.

Sorry to jump in at the tail end of this, but isn't it possible a) she
hit her head on the way down and suffocated while unconscious, or b) the
wedging action of the fall compressed her diaphragm (that feeling of
"having the wind knocked out of you" that we are all familiar with). I
would guess "b". That would explain her inability to scream for help and
subsequent suffocation.
