You are right about cutting away the drywall behind the casing. Have the vac handy and clear away some expansion space.
Also, your decision to do this before the baseboard goes up makes good sense. Though the floor can receive general foot traffic in 24 hours, it is susceptible to scuffing until it is fully cured, which is 7 days. Bona suggests that rugs do not go down until it is fully cured, so I would not tape any paper down until then as well.
I can not speak to the performance or suitability of Bona Traffic on a cork, floating floor. Of course, you are not planning to put the bona down over a prefinished product, right?
'Metro M & L' suggested 'cooking the poly'. It is true that temperature and humidity will be key factors in the curing process, but be sure to stay within the recommended conditions of 65-80˚F/ 40-60% relative humidity.
