Tight end lines up on the line and is covered. The team sets for one second with all interior lineman (except the tight end) in a three point stance. The TE has his hands on his knees. The TE, without simulating the start of a play goes in motion and resets in the slot. No other player is in motion. The team is again reset for a second and the ball is snapped. Legal play?

I say you have a false start. Once the TE is covered he goes under the rules of a lineaman and cannot shift.
If he is covered by a WR and that wr shifts back off the line (un-covering the TE) the the TE could go in motion of shift.
