You are correct, it doesn't lock up if power mode is on.
Under 50 mph, I drive with the shifter in 3, with power mode on. If I'm cruising above 50, I put the shifter in D and turn power mode off. Sometimes on the highway if I'm trying to pass or just generally in a fast mood, I'll turn power mode back on. Cruising along in 4th with the torque converter locked up gives really good gas mileage, but it doesn't lock up until 50. And, driving below about 45-50 in 4th is not ideal for the stock transmission.
