I don't see this covered specifically in rules.
I say no violation in your scenario.
The delayed violation and signal assumes the shooter is making a try for the free throw and is continuing through that process.
The time-out breaks that string of proceedures.
Spirit of the rules you hold violations during the attempt. team chose not to attempt.
