After looking through the book, I agree with CecilOne that there's nothing wrong with the action. It happens a lot around here; the pitcher is just practicing. It's always up to the runner to be aware of what's happening.
Now if the pitcher was really close to the rubber while she was doing this and maybe if she had been doing this for awhile in a somewhat obvious attempt to fool the runner...maybe, just maybe I would get "fooled" too and call an illegal pitch. "She looked like she was on the rubber to me coach".
