Hm, that's a toughie. I would definitely bring this up to the LS/FC head when you apply and make sure they know about it and will be fine with it. I've been in some groups where this would be an absolute, 100%, no-way-no-how, WTFOMGBBQ kind of thing, and I've been in groups that were a lot more laid back about it.
Using my own guild leader experience as an example, I was pretty lenient about it. However, as every group I've run did a lot of IC missioning, I don't think I would have accepted a character who would never participate in that IC, as the character wouldn't fit the group dynamic. That said, we'd have people who were "captured" do missions OOC while waiting on other players in the plot to advance it, and it was fine as long as everyone knew what the "cover story" was. Also, as a GL, I only really cared about the implementation for guild-only groups, and then only if people complained about it. "What happens in /party, stays in /party," right?
