The thread may be so long that you (thumpferee) may have missed the critical issue.
Under National Federation Rules the movement as described is the start of the wind-up. It is a balk for the same logic you are using with "stepping off with the wrong foot" issue.
Note: "I" have never said NOT to call the balk of stepping off with the wrong foot -- unlike a couple of posters here I do not feel it is a technical balk -- it is a critical move with a runner on third and in a potential squeeze situation.
