As all have agreed such a free kick is an infraction. there is no case book example but the Redding book says:
"K22 places the tee for a kickoff on the 39 yard line. RULING: This is not legal. The covering official should tell K22 to place the tee on the 40 yard line. A kick that is made from other than the free kick line is a free kick infraction which is a dead ball foul with a 5 yard penalty. A fee kick cannot be made from behind the free kick line."
