Indeed. The toggle knobs begin to rise slightly before the lug hits. Probably in the realm of milliseconds, but the joint begins to break first. This makes sense in order to produce the most positive "breaking" effect, with the momentum of the entire top end behind it, albeit very briefly, before the toggle train carries on by itself. My initial description was sloppy, sorry.
