I didn't know this one. I've never seen this happen--or be called. NFL sure has some interesting differences....
When I went to the link, it said:

• A direct snap from center that goes backward will now be treated as a fumble. Previously, it was ruled a false start.
And I still can't figure out what this means. What I'm guessing it refers to is a snap which is illegal in some way -- that previously the ball remained dead, and that the change was to make this a foul as the ball becomes live.
