 The rotax alternator is a permanent magnet type and it has two outputs (two
 yellows).  I'm guessing but these might be different phases. So
 disconnecting one yellow line might still allow output to the regulator.

    No, it's a single phase alternator with yellow output
    wires. Breaking either wire disconnects the alternator
    from the regulator and shuts down the power generation
    system.
 
    Yes, output voltage from the unloaded alternator windings
    is high but current is zero.
