I'd say yes. Units off the board can still affect the game and other units.

Since Vector strike hits are allocated randomly and ignore cover, the lack of line of sight or range shouldn't really matter.

Can't imagine imperial players being very happy about it though.

An Imperial Guard game later today is the reason why I'm asking this, hehe.

"at the end of the movement phase (check), one unit the model moved over during it's movement phase (check)..." nothing beardy IMHO about that...

I had the same problem at my LGS, when disputed I gave them my codex, and the BRB, showed the rules and politely asked for them to show where it even implies that it can't be done. IMO the creatures vector strikes and then GTFO before it can get hit. Still makes sense flavour-wise and it doesn't break any rules.
If someone has a problem with it, they're too happy to complain for an advantage rather then just play. And that is not cool.
