In a recent tournament (non-APA) I won a game and the cue ball came back up table and was rolling slowly about mid table. It was my turn to rack for the next game (loser breaks) and I used my cue to push the cue ball back to the kitchen and prepared to rack. The tournament director discreetly told me that this could be taken as a foul, which is correct.
To me, the "spirit of the rules" would be for a player to accept a loss if the cue ball were moving as I described above and the player "fouled" it.
I will say that I'll never again do this because someone *might* call it a foul and I'd have no argument.
