One way to interpret this (although probably not accurate 100% of the time) is:

"natural movement associated with the delivery of the ball to the batter AND NOT ALSO ASSOCIATED WITH THE NORMAL MOVEMENT TO THROW TO A BASE commits the pitcher ..."

It's not a whole lot different from the motion where the LH pitcher from the set lifts the leg -- he can (absent any other movement) either pitch or throw to first from this point.
