When shifting to the big 22t cog on my quickbeam, I do this. Like James, I guess I've been a bike flipper since childhood, but then the other people i know do it this way too. I usually flip it in dirt, leaves, or grass, but sometimes not and don't find that the saddle has scratched much anyway.
I also do this for rear flats on my old sequoia which has non-aero levers... if you open the brake quick releases, the cables won't get kinked. I think it's easier to avoid touching the chain if you just flip your bike when removing the rear wheel- you can just use your tire lever and you don't even have to bother shifting onto to the smallest cog.
