No, it simply won't work well.  I've actually addressed this in 1.6, where
DeadAGI is going away entirely (well, deprecated), and AGI will make the
transition from running on a live channel to a hungup channel transparently.
This resolves the problem for the future.

It's not that we're uncaring about how people use DeadAGI; it's that it is
fundamentally incapable of behaving correctly in all circumstances on a live
channel.  In other words, it's unsupported for a good reason.
