I am fairly certain that the VR element is locked in place when the VR  
unit disengages. You can test it yourself: Simply turn off the camera  
while the VR switch is set to "On" (but not while the VR motor is  
running). Does the lens rattle? Mine sure do not, and I would consider it  
a serious defect if they did.
