I was assuming OBR, as specified in the OP. This particular ruling, though, is (substantially) the same.
In the case you cite, we must assume that the hands were not yet joined, otherwise the separation would be a "movement associated with the pitch."
See also rule 2-Pitch where "any movement" after the hands are joined is the TOP.
