While I realize you're not condoning the practice, I've done that in

bend
180 degrees where the wire exits either the plug of one cord or the
socket
of the mating one. I've had the insulation break from the stress and
reveal
the invidual wires.

You're not doing it correctly, then. Make the half hitch about a foot
below the plug/socket..

If I employ this wiring technique, what is the proper knot to use inside
the
wall so that I don't violate the "hidden junction" rule?

The correct procedure is to route and tape the wires this way:
