I had an S&S coupled travel bike for a while and always removed the chain when packing it for a trip. One time when I assembled it in a hotel room I did exactly what you show and mis-routed it through the rear derailleur. In the first 100 meters I knew something was wrong and had to stop to fix it in the hotel parking lot.
