I'm with you on this one... If the coprocessor is being used for vision processing, simply turning it off really shouldn't have a negative effect on the system.
If you are datalogging, you would want to have that data stored before removing power. A simple watchdog could be initiated from the start of autonomous and end after the teleop period after a set time period of no signal from the cRIO.
