but if there's a betting line, any forward motion with chips past that line will be a bet.

In California (and I believe all other locations) the oval line on the table isn't a "betting line." It's a line which players should push their chips, and their folded cards past, so the dealers can easily reach them. I believe it was put in for liability reasons because several years ago some dealers filed a lawsuit saying the repetitive motion of gathering chips and cards with arms too far stretched out, caused them injury.
