Could it be that when the key goes to zero, there is enough of a (perhaps temporary) voltage drop to make the GPS think it has been unplugged?

That sounds like an easy test to repeat. Also I have not researched this issue, and everything I'm reporting here is based on actual experience with my unmodified 2001 3.0i.
