Success! Thanks for the advice peeps. I removed the seat and seat undertray and then I could see the connectors hanging around over the underscoot tray, inboard of the rotary switch. I was able to do the disconnect/reconnect one handed (there's not a lot of wriggle room) and voila! The bike doesn't cut out when the side stand goes down...happy days  8)
You are now the goto guy (expert) on the sidestand switch ... switch. You are the first that I know who has actually DONE THIS! Well ... done!

The side stand was sold separately by Piaggio for my Liberty 150i. An "option."
I installed it....the socket for the lock out feature was there on the frame, waiting,  but did not attach the wiring for this 'safety feature'.
When parking on uneven ground I often use the side stand, with engine running, while taking photos.
