I would allow it for a bow only if the archer is aware of where the character will reveal himself and is waiting for the shot. In fact, I wouldn't bother with a hip shot for the crossbow. You have to be waiting and ready.
There's no explicit adjDX penalty for shooting a moving target in TFT, which probably should be there, depending on the direction of movement (orthogonal motion is a lot harder, obviously). I might add a penalty to hit a target in motion if I'm using this house rule which is not quite a rule at all.
Without allowing shots during movement, we can end up with what seems like an abuse of the rules, flitting from cover to cover up to MA away without the possibility of being shot. If the jump is only one or two hexes exposed, I'd probably buy it. A full five seconds in the open is a bit much.
I confess that I've not fired a bow at a target that moved into my LOS, so I could be wrong about the plausibility of doing so.
