While I don't doubt your statement...that is nuts!!! Clearly the BCC is able to charge the house from the chassis and the reverse should be true as well. This is not a feature and something is wrong here. The only case I have ever heard for this is on the MBS chassis and that turned out to be a miscommunication between FR and Mercedes Benz on the design.
Do you offhand remember which vendor your BCC is from? That is where it all happens and converter to chassis charging is what eventually kills battery isolation solenoids from constant use. But that is no reason not to have it work, that is a reason to use a good, continuous duty solenoid.
If you push your boost start switch and don't hear the solenoid click then it is already engaged and charging the chassis from the house and converter.
