I noticed recently that the coin maintenance practice specifically says 
the Ds mute completely and the Cs not.

That's interesting.  Never noticed.  I have C and E sets but haven't

To return the coin the totalizer has to be seizing the line and then 
releasing it.  Otherwise the CO would not apply return battery.
