Friday Night. 4th and 3, K sets up for the punt. The end, set as a back, takes a step forward (close, but in my judgement didn't feign a snap) and reset. Even though no Defensive player came offsides, the defense was very livid at the no call. Is there anything here, or is the whole argument based on whether or not the End feigned a snap?

I'm assuming you meant a player that originally was positioned as a back, then moved up to the LS to be a tight end.
Perfectly legal as long as the player, after stepping forward, is set on the LS for at least a second. You could penalize illegal procedure if (a) he drew the defense into the NZ at the snap, (b) he drew the defense to cross the LS before the snap, (c) if he wansn't set for 1 second, or (d) left the LS early at the snap.
