If the "3-points" are in play (that is, we have a player dribbling in the BC and moving towards the FC), then both feet and the ball need to touch the FC for FC status to be established. So we don't get FC status when a dribbling player straddling the line to simply lifts the BC foot.
As bob jenkins said, though, in this case, the ball has FC status as soon as it touches the FC, since the player is not yet dribbling. As soon as the player (who is still in the BC) touches the ball again, we have a violation.
