That older paper covers exactly what you're talking about in the section on flow, and turns out it's actually the other way around. Getting absorbed by the game is good for lucidity, but only if you're playing a lot. If you don't play so much, then being absorbed by the game is linked with night terrors instead.

The paper doesn't say whether any of the subjects were deliberately inducing LDs, or if they were all natural. So it's possible that flow could interfere with specific induction methods, maybe. But if natural LDs are caused by awareness, then based on this research, video games interfering with self-awareness isn't an issue.
