At the very least, something to keep the flight path predictable would make sense, to give the pilot a chance to point the plane at a "safe" area to crash in before pulling the lever. I remember reading several stories of pilots taking "where is the plane going to crash" into account for their ejection decision or last moves before ejection.

There were also several incidents where a pilot ejected because the plane was somewhat controllable but it was clear it couldn't be landed safely. At least one of them where they had tens of minutes of controlled flight before ejecting (they flew it over the ocean to minimize the risk of collateral damage).
