Jay,
You are correct about a pitchers warm-up procedures. I have seen many pitchers start two or three steps behind the PP during warm-ups. She obviously isn't going to pitch that way during the game. What I look for, is her normal pitching motion, and if I see something, I will call the coach over and have him/her look, then ask is she pitches like that. Also during warm-ups I will ask my partner, if he/she is someone I know is a good ump, what they think.
And yes, If it is illegal, call it. Again, if not 110% sure I will keep watching more closely.
