If it's not turned on then it's 0 volts isn't it?  Power supplies
don't go open circuit when they're turned off so the 3.3 volt line
will be sitting at close to 0 volts and you'd need to pump a lot of
current into it to drag it away from there.  There will be 10k or
more of series resistance in the inputs so we're only talking about
less than 1mA of current going through the clamping diodes, that's not
going to move the supply line voltage by anything much.

I'm not violating the power sequencing, I'm obeying it carefully by
ensuring that there's no voltage on the inputs until the 3.3 volt I/O
supply appears.
