Yep, we ran into a problem recently when trying to turn off a launch daemon
that ran at reboot. I assumed (wrongly) that adding the "Disabled" key would
kill it...man launchctl:
unload [-w] [-S sessiontype] [-D domain] paths ...
Unload the specified configuration files or directories of con-
figuration files. This will also stop the job if it is running.
-w Overrides the Disabled key and sets it to true. In pre-
vious versions, this option would modify the configura-
tion file. Now the state of the Disabled key is stored
elsewhere on-disk.
