Not particularly familiar with Dixie Boys rules, but I wondered the same thing. Yes, it is a balk in FED, but I'm reasonably certain that Dixie Boys does not play by FED.
Had the exact same thing in a game the other night that I was watching; I pulled out the rulebook and sure enough, there is no penalty. Of course, this guy took it on himself to be the "Balk Nazi," calling at least 12 balks over 2 games. He called everything he could think of.
