I'd say it has to be a foul as the player hasn't made a valid white-hits-objectball shot (regardless of the fact that the ball subsequently moved).

its not a foul shot sometimes the ball can be so close to the edge of the pocket it can fall in on its own in this case the ball will be put back to where it was http://www.irishpool.ie/Downloads/Rules/Blackball_Rules.pdf

ball should be replaced,when the player walks away from the table the ball has stopped moving,vibrations cause the ball to fall,neither player is at fault
