I'd bet the ECU is set to prevent water injection in a number of scenarios long before there is significant risk of hydro-lock, much in the way Honda's lean burn system will not work if there is the CEL is on.

Yes, and even if the A/C is always-on, in an arid or semi-arid climate, like where I live, there will be less water to remove and therefore to inject. I would think they would want to offer an ability to add water somehow, like one might add windshield fluid. In fact, to reduce the likelihood somebody jus dumps tap water into the system, they could call it "BMW-Power-Water" and charge oodles of dollars for it. "Use only BMW 345p Special Water" could be printed on the cap... dealerships will love that.
