(If you can't tell, I'm never overly impressed with those who can find nitpicky travels in videos like this.)

YMMV, but I wouldn't even be seeing this travel (if it indeed exists) -- it would simply never enter my mind.
Got to agree here also.

Sorry guys, I wasn't HOPING to find a travel and therefore watched the video 5 times to do so.

It's the classic "drop-step travel." The first time I watched the play, "travel" was the only thing that entered my mind. The slo-mo just made it that much more obvious.

You can debate whether it should/would be called. But you can't debate it's a travel. As CRust said, it's not even close, either. Pretending it is just to back up your personal philosophy on rules you choose to overlook (and we all have some, me included) is lame.
