No - aren't they considered bench personnel at that time? I think rules like this only apply to live-ball situations. If a kid has blood on his jersey - they can sit on the bench can't they? They can't come back into the game until it's been taken care of. A player can have an illegal number but it's not a violation until they enter the game. In pre-game warm-ups I am not concerned with a jersey untucked. If a player is wearing an illegal headband or sweatband - I tell them they can't wear that in the game. Again, right? wrong? I don't know - just how I do it. I'm mostly looking for illegal things that someone's going to get injured on - metal clips in the hair, problem braces, etc. I don't see anything in the rules that tell me the shirt needs to be tucked in the shorts during pregame.
