It is a good mechanic that could help prevent someone from arguing, "Your arm was in the air. You called her out." A product of having a strike and out signal being the same.
I recommend going one step forward. I think that a toned down bow & arrow (not a sell, but just a simple signal) followed by no catch is even better. Then you really can prevent the appearance of calling someone out.
This happened in a regional game, where the defense left the field and a run scored. It was the deciding run.
Granted, the umpire didn't use the correct signals.
