Yeah mate it's the same offence as running a red.
For the car, the "red line" is the first one before the ASL and for a bike it's the second. I.e. if it's yellow and they can stop before ASL, but stop in it, they've technically committed an offence. Both are punishable under "not following traffic signals" or similar.
This is so poorly known and understood, and the po po don't give a shit*, hence confusion such as yours.
*Dalston yesterday, panda car stops full within ASL despite plenty of time to slow on yellow. I was going to have a word but had no proof so instead passively-aggressively sat in front of them right on the forward line. Yeah. I showed them.
