I tried a quick google and really couldn't find a definitive answer. The only thing I would worry about would be someone coming straight through from the opposite direction when they have a yellow light too. Usually that guy will be accelerating. I have been in this situation and left in the middle of the intersection when the light turns red and if more than one guy wants to beat the yellow light you could find yourself in a bad situation.
It's a gray area because you can't predict what other drivers will do. So I guess it depends on the situation before I would know what I would do.
