Ahhh, thank you...I see I completely missed the point.  The open switch 
is not connected to the virtual ground, and so it swings with the input 
signal.  The diode clamps to ground limit this swing.

The follow-up question then is with a typical +/-5V swing on the 
unconnected input how much of that signal appears in the output?
