that's the FED rule; the OP asked about OBR.
OBR doesn't mention anything about the shoulder turn, it discusses a feint to first. The faster the move and the "bigger" the move, the more it's likely to be a feint. More movement is generally allowed before coming set.
My guess from the original description is that this was a balk -- F1 doesn't make a "sudden and violent" turn just to see where R1 might be.
