- Not only the move tool, but all other transformation tools should be able to 
work as well.

- The same holds for the align tool.

- Probably there's no harm in allowing the crop tool to work (if the "Current 
layer only" option is deactivated).

- The path tool doesn't react on pressing Ctrl (when there are no layers) as 
it should (usually this modifier allows to close a path).

- At least some of the selection tool could also work.  Note that in the quick 
mask, painting is not possible (the mouse even cannot be moved while pressing 
its button), but the brush outline is shown.

Looks like a good change, but maybe with more work under the hood than 
expected.
