2 reasons:
(1) I always bag the end of a kick.
(2) Dropping the bag first provides a routine -- bag first, then whistle. If I bag this, then there's no chance I'll ever IW since I won't throw the bag until I'm certain of possession.
What's it hurt? The bag's in my hand, it signals the end of the kick, I drop it.

Every crew I've ever worked with has always bagged them. I've had more than my share of extra curriculars at the end of a kick, as well as downfield action at the end of the play where players displace me, the ball, or both. If there's a penalty in the vicinity, especially by you as the BJ...you have the spot with the bag and don't have to worry about action by players, the ball, and a host of other things if you've got your bag doing the work for you. Just my opinion...and I agree on the mechanics end of it too. Maybe it's a WI thing, Rich.
