I call for the Fox Valley Park District in Aurora and run across the same conditions. It is an unwritten rule/understanding that there is no batter's box and call the violations the same way you do (foot clearly in front of the plate or any part of the plate). One additional thing I will do is protect the pitcher from the batters that like to run up on a pitch and hit the ball way in front of the plate. I don't have many players that do this, but I have warned those that do even with the 'but there's no batter's box' arguement.
