In order to keep your body parallel to the bike's centerline (which you should be doing) you need to square both shoulders and hips, no?

The only person who should be rotating their hips and being crossed up is Mick Doohan because he was fast even though his body position was wack.

You aren't really effecting your spine, you are more or less rolling the hips around the tank. This also will get you away from that silly 90 degree from the bike knee look and more of a 45 degree angle where your knee should be. It's hard to explain in words and a lot easier to show in person. You should be all the way back in the seat and when you do this it actually kinda rolls your upper body right where it needs to be for the turn.
