Bob,
I'm not sure I'm clear on a protection swing. Do you mean call the strike no matter where the ball is in the zone as a penalty for the action?
What the batter typically does is move the bat up and down and then pull it back not ever wanting to actually bunt the ball. The motion is an attempt (my assumption) to get the corners to move in. I have yet to see a batter do this and actually bunt. This typically is not during a steal attempt although it could go along with it.
