Wouldn't that risk driving up the market price of bitcoins, which leads to a higher competing bid on the bulk coins?

Well you wouldn't want to do it before the bids are in. However, there was a gap between when bids are placed and when the winner is announced, that would be a good time.

edit: Of course, any time after the bids were completed would be a good time. After the auction ends would be just as good for you.
