It's true that phantom power won't affect a balanced dynamic mic at 
all. If it's hot-patched, i.e. plugged in when phantom is on, there's 
no guarantee that pins two and three will mate at the same time. But 
for that instant, if say pin two is connected to 48V and pin three is 
open, still no significant current will flow. And when pin three 
makes with the same 48V, there won't be any significant pulse then, 
either.

I'd still avoid plugging a ribbon mic in to a hot 48V input...just to 
be on the safe side.
