Thanks for your reply Mark.
If the temporary access URL vanishes when the DNS propagates, I will not be able to login to the WordPress blog, as on installation the application embeds the host URL in many places on its DB. Switching to the actual URL in admin doesn't work as many of the links will be wrong. I've already tried it! Moving a WordPress blog domain is well documented and I would need to follow a similar procedure.
As I have little control over when the DNS will propagate, will a seamless transition be impossible? Would I be better to disable the blog until the DNS is sorted? Would you know any sooner than me when this happens?
