The way our room uses the forward motion rule, once you start your forward motion with X amount of chips in your hand, it is too late to make any bet, including an all in, that is greater than the amount in your hand. You can cut out chips to make a smaller bet, but you can’t increase the bet. You would have to declare the all in before starting forward with your stack.
In a room where we had a hard betting line, you were bound by the amount of chips in your hand as soon as it crossed the airspace above the line. It didnt matter if the chips touched the felt or not. Whatever crossed the line played. And any verbal declaration had to be made before any chips crossed the line.
In this OP, it seems like the usual call would be that the player just called. The only way I would think the floor changed his ruling properly would be if other players claimed he said the all in at the same time, and not a second later as the dealer claimed. But absent that, if he changed just based on player intent, that’s a poor call IMO.
