Disabled robots moving

I recognize this is probably a stupid question, but I'm going to ask it anyway. I was contemplating this on my ride home today. At NYC, an inspector told me about a robot that was DQd because they ran their fan after they were disabled. This got me thinking. Though the RoboRIO and legal motor controllers will not function when the robot is in a DISABLED state, provided no other control system rules were violated, is it technically legal, regardless of if it's physically possible, to have an actuator move while the robot is DISABLED? I can't find a rule explicitly stating this one way or the other. The best I can find is the definition of DISABLED: "a state in which a ROBOT has been commanded by the Driver Station to deactivate all outputs." Perhaps this would be in violation of G1?
