I doubt we'd have to look far to find examples of police officers who would hold that view. And there are sadly likely occasional traffic court judges who would uphold them.
But if someone pursues the issue on appeal, no the actual legal system
as a whole isn't going to find reliance on sharrows for positioning an unreasonable action.
This street level conflict of judgement is one of the reasons why FRAP laws need to be repealed - a Massachusetts style law that says you can use the full lane on any road where you're allowed to be present at all, even if there's a bike lane or path, is much, much clearer.
