My take would be a little different, I think it should read,"No part of the body may touch the ground outside the circle." I think the intent was to specify that ONLY the feet may touch inside the circle, and as far as your other parts go, they may not touch outside the circle. I've seen people point with from the squat with both feet in the circle, but one knee outside the circle on the ground. I believe this is illegal.
As to the original question, I think it pertains to the setting up process,i.e, getting your stance and balance just before the throw. Thus, Ray's answer that no infraction occurs.
