Breaking Cue Ball on break

My buddy break the cue ball (literally) during break. Is it considered a foul?
Did four balls touch a side?
Well.......I suppose not. Then it's a foul.

(c) If the breaker pockets a ball and does not foul, he continues at the table, and the table remains open. (See 3.4 Open Table / Choosing Groups.)
(d) If no object ball is pocketed, at least four object balls must be driven to one or more rails, or the shot results in an illegal break, and the incoming player has the option of
(1) accepting the table in position, or
(2) re-racking and breaking, or
(3) re-racking and allowing the offending player to break again.
What if you make a legal break....but one half of the cue ball goes into a pocket?
Saw it happen twice one weekend in a tourney. It was a re-rack. Not saying it was the correct call, just what they did

From the picture it looks like a Red Circle cue ball and that it broke right around the red circle.
Reason I say it's fake is that I think the red dot on a real Aramith goes much deeper than this.
This is only, what, 1/4 of an inch?
Don't those red dots on Aramith's go almost to the center of the ball.
I think I remember a video of someone cutting one in half on a band saw and it was clearly going much deeper than this.
