Yes, you are correct.  Still I think that a slipping mast is a poor
installation and if it slips far enough before you reset it, the wind could
damage your coax.

The coax loop is only an issue if the antenna slips on the mast.
It is not an issue if the rotator slips on the mast and you
reset it in software.
