However the tank Fuel Pump would not get the DI fuel rail back above 1500 PSI by itself.
But is there enough fuel in the rail to flood the cylinder enough to hydrolock? Without the HPFP operating it isn't like the fuel in the rail would be replaced or maintain high pressure through an open injector for long.

The theory is sound except for those couple of points that keep nagging at me.
