Won't the system still boot provided everything else is in order without a PRAM battery and the little diagnostic circuit check that takes place and resulting bong sound. Or does the fact that it is starting out from a completely dead status with no power connected until everything is reassembled prevent this?

The power manager needs the trickle current from the battery to function. So, no battery juice = no heartbeat.
