I see what you're saying now. I can definitely see that happening with a time attack/road course car, where it would take some serious prolonged lateral forces to get the oil to sit there long enough to create a blockage. Perhaps draining it to the back of the pan would work. As long as there isn't any 90* bends in the return, it should work. I wouldn't worry about this on a DD/street car.
S14DB hit the nail on the head with that thread.
