LSD with DSC on: will it prevent e-diff from braking

I'm posting my question here even though have an M235i on order. In the 2 and 4 series forums, I started discussion on whether installing the M-P LSD would make sense in street driving (i.e. not on the track), and the discussion has been inconclusive on whether or not the LSD makes any sense with DSC left ON. So

So, here is the question (worded slightly different way) to anyone who actually has the M-P LSD in his car:

Assuming DSC is ON (i.e. in public road traffic), when you press on the gas to power-exit a curve or alike - will e-Diff "be faster" and apply brakes to your spinning wheel, rendering LSD useless?

Or will LSD take upper hand and prevent e-diff from intervening, thus allowing nice slide with uninterrupted power on the rear wheels?

Answering these questions would make it clear whether or not one actually has to turn DSC OFF in order to make any use of LSD...
