I believe ignition switches have on click before they lock so you can safely shut the car off as described, you only have to do it for a second, '80s Porsches at least. Haven't you guys tried this?
My wife's blessed 928 occasionaly cuts ignition when you turn off the headlights so you have to put it in neutral and re-start the car while coasting.
One of my friends tried turning off his '04 Mercedes S class going down the freeway to diagnose a squeak/noise that was bothering him. It went full code red and he had to take it to the dealer to get it fixed.
You gotta love drive-by-wire and CAN networks...
