There was a question about this a couple of years ago by someone but I never read how they got on.
My experience leaving bikes in Dehli was good with the only limiting factor being a maximum stay of 6 months from date of entry for a vehicle on a carnet. I left them at a place recomended by the freindly guys at Dehli customs house rather than the custom building(that place resembles a scrap yard and was open to all the people hanging around. Charges came to about 60us$ for 5 months and the bikes were ok.
No problems leaving for, or returning from, europe by plane just as the customs man promised.
I would be suprised if it caused you any problems at all, but would then be only a matter of finding someone who has a better unerstanding of the law.

Edit.. How time flys.. This was in 2002 and things can change although Indian doesn't seem to change that fast on such matters.
