Also, shares paid as a dividend would only go to shareholders of record on the day it is announced.

Chris, I'm not aware of any company having an ex-dividend date on the same day the dividend payout is made public. It would most likely be some future date. Not sure this would catch flippers off guard, but it should certainly cause a run-up in share price as they tried to buy back in.
