No, if you watch the video, they don't die instantly, they either continue fighting or run away (non-essential and essential NPCs, both). I expect this will be true of followers, as well.
I searched, but couldn't find any. There was a post in the forums asking if anyone knew how to do it, and since it also bothers me when it happens and all AI enemies immediately ignore the kneeling NPC, I just went ahead and made it.
