OBR 4.03: When the ball is put in play at the start of, or during a game, all fielders other than the catcher shall be on fair territory.
This does not call for a balk to be called EXCEPT when the catcher is not standing with both feet in the catcher's box during an intentional walk.
99 times out of 100, a first baseman holding a runner on with a foot in foul territory is overlooked. Sounds like this guy was trying to over-officiate or make himself look big because he "knew" every rule in the book or something.
