No i would not blow the whistle.

In soccer, the opponents are only banned to make interference if the ball is out of the field or there is a foul happened. Since the goalkeeper in this situation catch the ball from the kick (no foul and the ball is not out of the field), the opponent could impedes her from releasing the ball and steal it.
