...A bike pulls up to a 4 way stop. He, or she, eases the bike into the intersection, revving the engine, feathering the clutch, and half walking - half hopping with the bike, trying to keep it upright as they try to steer into a lefthand turn. ...

I am not sure if I have ever seen this before? There is certainly an art to working the brakes and clutch as you move slowly so you don't have to drag your feet...but i think you are specifically talking about making a LEFT (hey, Dwight uses all upper case) turn?
i might laugh if I saw what you described.

I will say that I am not shy to use a foot for balance if needed...nothing wrong with that...better than wobbling at extremely slow speed...but i won't drag it.

I do have a friend who revs his throttle as he releases the clutch to move forward. I told him that was a sign of a NOVICE and he said it's a bad habit he is trying to stop.
