I found that you can do this not just here. Yesterday I did it at the door going into the MoF from where you get the power armor, and also have done it in the door between Railroad HQ and Old North Church, which is now my go to if I get Mikulocked as you end up right where you need to be to talk/shoot Dez anyway.

Not sure what places you can/can't do it at. At first I thought just anyplace where you end up inside a building but I'm pretty sure it doesn't work for Virgil's Cave/Sewer when going inside it, so perhaps it only works on doors? Regardless glad to see it doesn't result in the end of a run.
