I have to think that if you lost a cooler hose, or the pan breached by road debris, that the sudden loss of fluid would cause the internal hydraulic pressure to drop.

This would cause the clutch(es) to drop out and effectively put you in neutral, no?
yep - the transmission would be free - no fluid pressure = no rotational torque from the converter => no drive
