Thanks lifespeed.
Some people have tried holding the 3 buttons down as first described and achieved what you desire...to manually disengage the AC compressor while in Defrost mode.
It seems that some cars are different because I tried the 3 button procedure and nothing happened.
I tried it over & over without any luck.
However I was successful in AutoStop while in Defrost mode.
It occurred to me after I made the post here on the 23rd that I never tried holding down the A/C button and the ECON together.
Later that evening I tried holding those 2 buttons down and the light on my A/C button flashed 7 times. It worked on the first try. I can now manually disengage the A/C while in Defrost mode using the A/C button.

I had the same experience you describe. The car autostops with defrost on, but I can't turn the AC off in defrost. I'll try holding down the AC and econ buttons.
Here is a strange thing I have noticed lately: The car will not autostop in the morning on my way to work, even after the engine has warmed up. But in the afternoon when it is warmer outside, it will autostop. I realize the engine has to be warmed up for the autostop to work. Am I experiencing some bizarre effect of this logic, where cold (32F) winter weather is enough to make the brain think it is perpetually "too cold to autostop"? The temp gauge does indicate warmed up.
