Seems to be exactly the situation covered by 6-2-4 (d1):
"If the pitcher, with a runner on base, stops or hesitates in his delivery
because the batter steps out of the box (a) with one foot or (b) with
both feet or (c) holds up his hand to request “Time,” it shall not be a
balk. In (a) and (c), there is no penalty on either the batter or the pitcher
The umpire shall call “Time” and begin play anew."
