The Vuichard video I have seen shows the aircraft in a stable state sinking through in its vortices. Lovely and stable, apart from the increasing ROD. But as you say, the aircraft can be all over the shop and it seems to me that the idea of an effective controlled cyclic sidestep and effective yaw input in that condition is a little fanciful.
And as one of the biggest risk factors is running out of power to control the accelerating sink rate, overpitching followed by proper ugly VRS renders the idea of adding of collective somewhat redundant. It is surely a way to get yourself killed in an aircraft that is at its performance limit or beyond.
