 Fed doesn't have a time requirement to establish position in the backfield, either IIRC, just a momentary "set", so it's not illegal formation either.  Of course in the <1 sec. he had to become still, you may not have seen him as "set".

 2-39 Shift: A shift is the action of one or more off players who, after a huddle or after taking set positions , move to a new set position before the ensuing snap.
Robert, how are you thinking it is not an illegal shift?
