I would have to agree with wige here:
A. The site pages in the main index might not leak PR - that would depend on how the site is set up.
B. I have sites where some pages have gone into the SI and the ranking for the site in the SERPs has not been affected. That is also a fact whether you agree or not. 
Just my experience, MJ
