Since the SRM has already increased the engine speed to the right spot electronically the output shaft does feel the resistance of the engine from the increasing RPM and therefore the vehicle does not slow down any faster than if it had been in neutral the whole time.
Hope that makes sense, almost confused myself a bit there.
