Agreed - I've never known install mode to kick off other users. And install mode only affects the current session - as opposed to all sessions. Historical gut feeling says it doesn't feel comfortable for me, but I can't actually cite any concrete technical reasons why it should cause a problem. Personally, I tend to only do it on servers where (as an admin) I'm the sole user - but again that's more for a feel-good reason than anything else. With a gun to my head, I'd do it with an active server.
