Red face neutral zone

I had my dad (A retired official) at my game tonight who questioned me on this.

When a wide receiver breaks the huddle and then accidentally runs past the neutral zone, realizes it immediately, and then gets back on his side of the ball, should we flag it? Given that the center's hands were on the ball, by the letter of the rule, we should. However, this is something we've always let go (Until the snap is imminent), even at the varsity level.
