Hi - yes, the GPS gets powered off during app changes. Right now to try and keep apps as reliable as possible (they can be of varying quality!) I try and reset everything back to the same state each time an app is loaded.
Strictly speaking the GPS is not actually powered off, there's just a pin that says it should be active or not - so the reacquisition time shouldn't be too long, but as you note there will be a small pause.
