That's correct. There is tension on the hubs when you're moving...so switching to 2WD from 4HI on the fly will usually keep the hubs engaged until the tension is released. (Either by stopping at a stop sign and putting the tranny in neutral, or reverse.) Sometimes, it will disengage by itself if you are coasting just right...but usually the hubs will remain locked until the tension is relieved.
