Sorry fellas. The code says handle ties on MWBC period. No exceptions for added switches. Don't look for any changes in 2014. The purpose is no current on the neutral. The switch will not prevent this.
Cavie, where is it stated that you can not have individual switches after the branch circuit breaker? If what you are saying is true it would be a violation to have switches in many lighting applications.
210.4(B) Disconnecting Means. Each multiwire branch circuit shall be provided with a means that will simultaneously disconnect all ungrounded conductors at the point where the branch circuit originates.
