Yes.  I am going to say, "It should work."  :-)

Personally I wouldn't move from multiuser to single user directly.  I
would always reboot first and then boot into single user mode.  Then
when leaving single user mode reboot into multiple user mode.  That
way is very well tested.  Doing other things /should/ work but I
wouldn't be surprised to find interesting corner cases.  It is
definitely the road less well traveled.
