It's a balk charged to the pitcher for an illegal action by the catcher. It is really just a means to advance all runners one base. Perhaps it would be less confusing had MLB written 7.07 to say "all runners shall be awarded one base" instead of "the pitcher shall be charged with a balk," because the pitcher hasn't balked at all. In fact, it's not a balk until after the pitcher has released the pitch.
