That's what I usually do, and what I expect of others. Oh well.

When I moved over to turn left the light was also red. He noodled around in the right lane, bike lane, and part of the other intersection doing little circles so he wouldn't have to unclip. He was about halfway across the intersection when the light actually turned green for him.
If one where to do this with a car, it'd be a dangerous situation - passing in an intersection is illegal in most places, AFAIK. Riding circles at an intersection doesn't sound too safe either. Seems like the kinda person to stay away from - an accident waiting to happen.
