Not sure if you are correct about only the differential being used during LC - you may very well be, I just don't know enough about it to take your word on it - but even if so, that still means DSC is in the mix so what I said in the post you quoted still holds.
DSC is not engaged and does not do it's job to apply brake and cut the engine, but provides data from sensor to Active M differential to change the distribution rate between rear wheels.

And if I am then you're right in that my earlier post would be misleading and should be revised.
You are correct! no data at all in this case and if you floor the gas from standstill the car accelerate like an unstable missile and squirm...Since the car wants to go all around, you will easily lose the control if you are not prepared ... I already tested it's scary... if you want to test it, just make sure to test it in a wide area
