The fold is independent of the seatpost as far as i am aware, so the seat can be in any position whilst the bike is otherwise fully folded. This is what allows the bike to be wheeled around on its front wheel using the seat as a handle.

There should therefore be no issues with any seat bag though the folded size is obviously impacted in the vertical as well as longitudinal dimension. As the Pocket Rocket Dropper doesn't attach to the post at all, it would, if it works with the sliding seat clamp, mean that the seat could drop all the way.
