I dont know how, but it would be logical as live view is only used for indication of capture more than photography. It is that APT decided to use it as a way of using it a bit like a webcam instead of a high quality CMOS imager. The real benefit is that is has a better pixel alignment for RGB compared to a webcam so colour alignment is not critical on the final process.

Hopefully I am gonna try some testing tonight as well to check it, I know that when I use 5 x zoom on live view the reult is under 1mp I believe the result is the same for x 1 live view.
