I have always used my 100-400 with IS turned on with a monopod, based on the
same assumption as yours.
It has never harmed an image that I can see.
I have also used it on a Tripod, with great success. In a very few
instances I have noticed the IS actually introduce motion in the picture.
This was under extremely stable conditions, with the tripod head locked
down. The effect was obvious when I viewed the image. In these rare cases,
I simply turned IS off.
So, the bottom line for me is that you can judge the effect of IS, positive
or negative, by what you see through the viewfinder.

Subject: EOS IS and monopod?
I know you turn IS off with tripod and 100-400 Canon IS. What about a
monopod. I'm assuming it's best to leave it on because there is some
movement. Am I right?
