I would not have interpreted it they way you have. I would have interpreted it as that when the PWM signal is disabled (flatlined) the Talon continues to apply brake mode if the brake/coast jumper is set to brake.

When the main breaker is switched off, power is cut to everything, including all Talons, Victors, and Jaguars. At that point, the MOSFETs in the H-Bridge turn off and the only conduction possible is through the reverse body diodes.
