Nope, I've never heard of anyone actually behaving like this.
I think once again you have to apply common sense. You stop momentarily (or not) after you vacate the runway but you come to rest when you get to the position where you intend to shut down. In commercial operations the pretty much universal practice is flight time is parking brake off to parking brake on with wheels up/down inbetween and all four times are required before it is considered a "flight".
