I'm guessing that it's because the F1 started in a windup and then switched to a set without first disengaging.

Interesting thought. I did not really think of him in the windup, his left foot was out front at about 45 degree angle and then he moved it foward and come set. Many ML pitchers do strange things and are not called balks because everyone recognize they do it all the time. Don't remember if he did, but it certainly would not fool a runner and I would not call a balk.
But you may be right.
