This is true, but appling a little e-brake will give the tire in the air enough 'traction' to the differential which will bias the torque to the tire with some real traction still on the ground.

I really liked my Truetrac I had in the rear of my Scout II, but the Dana 44 proved to be a bit small for the 392 gasser I swapped into it. I busted 3 rear ends before swapping in a Dana 60 with a Power lock.
