The handbrake warning light (red "Brake") also lights on mine.
I have not tried driving with the IMA off, but my DC-DC converter sometimes goes off when the pack is low/unbalanced, and I do hard acceleration. The ScanGauge shows the system voltage as 12V or less, rather than the 13-14V I see when the DC-DC is working. It seldom resets by itself, though, so I have to turn the engine off and restart to reset it. But I can go at least 10 minutes or so with it off.
