I can't think of any other violation that is left without any other distinguishing gesture.

This violation DOES have a defined signal. On an old "National Federation Official Basketball Signals" card that I have handy, it is signal #17, "Free throw, designated spot, or other violation."
It starts with the open, raised hand. Then, a single finger pointing to the designated spot then sweeping the hand away from that spot.
That's pretty descriptive.
Here's where the thrower had to be and here's what he/she did.
