REPLY:

Not if the right connector is used. 

With an unshielded, deeply recessed female connector on the PS side
and a flying lead hard wired into the amp side, you can hot-plug all
you like with no danger. 

There must be a solid ground connection between the two chassis, but
that is true for any connector configuration.
