The possibility exists that both running the device (at full brightness, mind you) and charging a really thirsty battery will burn something out in the regulator. You'll hate yourself in the morning.
The folks who designed this thing know it's limitations and weaknesses, like TINY little surface-mount components.

I assume they wouldn't say it if there was no real reason. They must have seen some bad results from not following this sequence.
