DCT - Idling

I live in a cold climate where sometimes, it's convenient (some would say necessary) to let the car idle to warm up. With the DCT, is it "safe" to leave the car (unoccupied) in neutral while idling with the parking brake on? I never let manual transmissions idle in neutral so I guess it's the same philosophy. So the real question is, can we trust the electronic parking brake to keep the car still on relatively flat surfaces?
