Um, no.  I *have* tracked things using udevadm monitor, dbus-monitor,
and lshal --monitor, and the problem is that right after you push the
button, it disconnects the hard drive right away.  It is true that it
doesn't disconnect the ethernet port, yes --- but that's because it is
just a matter of routing wires.  But anything with an electronic
interface, such as the UltraBay hard drive, or the USB hubs, etc., are
all disengaged after pressing the undock button.
