Rule 5 (or is it 6 now) doesn't apply when landing or taking off if conforming to normal aviation practice. So I guess technically you're legal.

In practice, I would let it depend on the reason for the go-around. If it's an aircraft all of a sudden entering the runway for take-off, with me on short final, I would get off the centerline no matter what. If it's a non-flying obstruction on the runway (car, deer, disabled aircraft) I would let it depend on circumstances and other circuit traffic. If it was my own fault (balked landing) maintaining the centerline exactly, or moving to the deadside would probably be the least of my worries. Getting the aircraft configured for a climb is more important.
