I thought I'd read on here before that in FED, a player that leaves, but is not substituted for, is still a player - so this doesn't sound like illegal substitute if he returns before the ball is snapped.

I don't think there is a rule against this. At least I cant find one. Thats why I said Id do nothing outside of telling the punter to look at his feet. All in all the way I look at a situation like this is if it didn't affect the play, take an advantage of an opponent, or create a threat to player safety, then it is not a foul.
