I'd say the flap closes for a few seconds when the key is turned off and resumes it's rest position (as you correctly say is open) .

Re the 'flap'; I'm thinking the ideal solution would be to have two "throttles" in parallel via a Y piece either side. The added one would be manually operated via a switch connected to the handbrake switch and the original left to function as normal. With the EGR blanked off there would always be uniform pressure for the whole length of the intake circuit. Operationally, when you start up the normal flap can go through its diagnostic routine and the extra flap is shut. When you take off, the second flap is opened when the handbrake is released, allowing full airflow to be available. When you arrive, you pull on the handbrake as normal and turn off the engine (which will shut down without run-on).
Downside - very visible mod! At the moment I can run with the throttle disabled and it is better on take off at intersections, etc. The difference when driving around Melb is significant. The ECU detects this though, even if no light comes on as you get run-on when you shut off the engine. The light sometimes comes on during certain driving conditions and when you next start the engine. Re enabling the flap will see the light cancel after a few runs.
The neatest way would be to reprogram the ECU.
Ultimately all mods are detectable whether visually or via the OCB port.
The frustrating part is that we are paying significant $s for our vehicles, that are sold with poor engineering wrt pollution control - almost like when EGR first came out on petrol engines year ago.
