I know that with motor controllers it isn't really that big of a deal, but if there were say, a servo controlled latch for an arm. That could make for an interesting situation. Or servos for shifting transmissions...
It actually sets it to 127.

And to answer the original question:
The program continues to function, meaning your PID will still be working. However, any output is ignored by the RC. This should be fine though, because the errors will just accumulate and be corrected for when the disable is turned off.

If you're asking if you can still move the arm, the answer is no. Sorry.
