"Turns out not everyone thinks so (half of you who replied), and the UCI rule is not specific about where "off course" is in relation to a course-marking pole." What has that got to do with anything? Half the people on the internet would vote for Angle if he raped his sister and shot the postman.
Yes, they DQ'ed the goat at Monte Saint Anne and Tahnee in Leogang for similar off's.

Impressive piece of work, both in terms of time and effort eliminating variable. Except, one variable you left in: Weight. While weight of the dual crown was taken into account for climbing, there is no mention of it as a potential aid for descending. It seems possible, even likely, given how close the results are that the thing proved here is that the best thing a racer can do is make sure his or her water bottles are topped up before leaving the starting gate.
