If he is pitching from the windup with the bases empty, I would tend to see nothing, but what if there are runners? What if they go on first movement and he stops, then steps off and throws them out? Still nothing?
I would not allow the pitcher to step on the rubber with his free foot and not continue with the pitch with runners on base. He can do the move, but he is committed to pitch if he does. That's how I see it.
