Yea exploiting what the game isn't meant to do is wrong in the GMs eyes. If you feel innocent you're gonna need a nice rule lawyer and to wait. Sounds sketch. I was always put off of running by the frame rate bug everyone used.

What the game is "meant" to do, and the player made agreement are two different things.

player-made agreement = FTE foot race, maximum SOW speed.
anything that allows someone to travel at faster-than-sow speed is considered illegal.

things that may be considered against what the game is "meant" to do:
- alt-tabbing to drop frames and increase run speed during de-elevation = travelling faster than SOW.
- strafe running = travelling faster than SOW.
- jumping whilst running = travelling faster than SOW.

if SOW is the maximum allowable speed for an FTE foot race, then strafe running and jumping whilst running must also fall into the category of "travelling faster than SOW".

policing one method (alt-tabbing) and disregarding all other methods just emphasises how grey this grey issue is.

so either burden everyone with iron-gripped, draconian blanket ban of all forms of faster-than-sow travelling, or just accept alt-tabbing as just another quirk of a very old game.
