I was going to respond and say this is something that is pretty easy to test, but I think Casey beat me to the punch with a bit of empirical evidence. If you look at the RRC2/3 series altimeters, they contain a big capacitor specifically to continue to provide power in the case of a brownout that used to happen on their old altimeters when the right combination of ematch and battery created an extreme short that exceeded the batteries limits, including 9 volt batteries.
The easy answer is to always use a separate pyro circuit, but that isn't always feasible.
