Well, if you are upside-down, the BC will hold SOME air - the amount will be determined by the volume of the BC, and how much resistance there is to inflation (this is one of the arguments against restraining bungies). However, it is unlikely that someone who pulls off their inflator hose will do so in the inverted position, and by the time they realize what's happened, the BC is probably empty or near-empty.
As far as controlling a feet-first ascent, I certainly wouldn't want to do it myself (in a dry suit)! But I'm sure Uncle Pug has done it at some point.
