I swear I've read something in a casebook that covers this, but now I can't find it.

Remember the foot not only needs to be entirely out of the batter's box, but it also must be on the ground at time of contact.
The exception is in FED where if the foot is touching the plate, the batter is out, whether or not it is completely out of the batter's box.
