The code pretty much dictates that the grounded, grounding and GEC all get connected together in the service disconnect can. The only time this is not true is when the GEC lands somewhere else on the line side grounded conductor.
It still does not change the fact that the grounded and grounding conductors should never meet again.

for instance, we're lousy with 'subpanels' without a floating noodle
