Yes my drives are Industrial type and do track the encoder in all states, I just presumed even the cheaper drives would need an enable signal which you would use to allow movement but could also take that signal away and the drive would stop holding the motor. If that was the case and you were using a brake then the motor couldnt move anyway so as long as you enabled just prior to releasing the brake it should not lose position.
From what you say though it looks like that is not the way the hobby drives work and if you need to power down before re-enabling its not very good and obviously what I was thinking will not work..
