To clarify my point, the ABS system will reengage some form of VDC if you're out of control and apply the brakes. I was sliding 90deg sideways on the track

To clarify my point, the ABS system will reengage some form of VDC if you're out of control and apply the brakes. I was sliding 90deg sideways on the track at 70mph and had full opposite lock dialed in. The car wasn't doing what I wanted, but as soon as I applied the brakes she did the VDC shimmy and went right where I was trying to point her.
A second instance happened at my autocross last week. The fastest part of the course was a fast 'straight' that was actually a slight arc. I'd touch 60mph and then be hard on the brakes while still turning through the arc to then enter a hairpin. On one run, the car was very unsettled as I rolled hard into the brakes and the VDC did the stabilizing shimmy despite being turned off.
