If this option is selected and you will "shock" the electrical system, all bets are off on everything surviving the surge. Alt, regulator, control module, etc. Kind of like jump starting car A while car B is running or is at a high high RPM. This is another automotive skill no longer taught in high schools.
Winter is coming so this will be a daily event in office parking lots all over the Rust Belt. Repair shops love the business.

The reason for the boost setting is provide enough current for the starter motor. It is OK to leave the charger connected until the car starts. It is also OK to increase the RPMs of the car providing current. At peak output the alternator is only putting out 14-17 volts.
