Shipwreck - your question has merit in theory, but it's just not gonna happen on the field.

come on....closing the glove on the ball is a pure reflex action by the catcher, there is no time to process all that is happening and decide not to close the glove.

I suppose if you want an answer to your question - I would propose this:

In order to intentionally drop something, you have to have caught (controlled) it first.

what he said.....a lot of "dream plays" lately.......are we getting bored?
