The rules say the snapper is protected in scrimmage kick formation if there is someone in position to receive the snap that is 7 yards back. It does NOT say that this person, 7 yards off, is required to actually receive the snap. There's no question it's a legal play (what could anyone be conceiving of to make this not legal). The snapper protection is a good question, but I believe he's still protected in all codes.
