With regeneration you do have a desire to have power coming in from the wheels so a hard disconnect isn't desirable in all circumstances.

I know, by observation, on my Prius that "panic stop" brake pressure disconnects the hybrid system due to all the noise that the contactors make when this happens, vs. lighter braking within the regeneration limits. Braking and power never ever fight one another though. I've tried "power braking" the Prius, like you can with a normal automatic transmission car to load the engine, and it just doesn't do anything at all.

This article about the physically stuck pedals says that "Thankfully the truck cuts acceleration when you press the brake pedal..." but this seems to show otherwise.
