in those codes with a definition of "scrimmage kick formation", I don't see any requirement that it be a legal formation to snap from. And the rules just make certain additional actions legal or illegal based on whether the ball was snapped while that definition was met.
Besides, the usual practice is not to get too technical about triggering rules conditions pertaining to player safety. You wrote that the team "lines up in a scrimmage kick formation", meaning that that's what it looked like to whoever's saying that. Whatever made the official decide it was a scrimmage kick formation (that being a technical term now) should be enough, regardless of whether the formation stinks.
