As long as the "screwdriver" pin is pushed back into the mount by the
lens mount plate, the motor is turned off. Only when the pin is first
rotated by the motor and CAN engage the lens slot in it's first
revolution will the motor continue to be active and drive the lens
focus.

It doesn't. I use M series lenses all the time on my DL2, leaving
AF on so that I can use focus confrim and trap focus. Been doing
that for just over three years and for another mumblemumble years
with my Z1-p. I cannot see any marks on my lens mounts at all.
