A Corporate Jet was holding short of Runway 24. Tower instructed the jet to 'line up and wait.' The jet start moving a few feet but suddenly come to an abrupt stop after the hold short line had been crossed; but not physically on the actual runway yet. The jet had stopped as the pilot had seen a single engine aircraft on short final for the same Runway 24. After the jet had stopped completely the single engine aircraft passed directly in front of it; and landed. The jet was then again instructed by the Tower to now line up and wait; an instruction that had already been given. If the jet had not stopped; it would have been a very close call.
A corporate jet pilot holding short of TEB Runway 24 was cleared to line up and wait but held just beyond the hold short line after he saw an single engine aircraft on short final landing Runway 24.
