And how about:

"If a bet is placed consisting of one or more chips of a single denomination, and if this is the minimum number of this denomination of chips required to call the current bet, and no verbal declaration or gesture has been made to indicate a raise, than the bet shall constitute a call."

One could argue that tossing in a higher value of chips would precisely constitue a gesture indicating the bettor wanted to raise.

I think there should be a rule mandating a verbal declaration of all raises. The bettor must say, "raise." How hard is that?
