The regulator does not provide a "voltage" to the field terminal. It provides a current path for the field windings. You can take the field terminal and short it to ground and it will do no damage. In fact, this would drive the generator to full output. Voltage and current are two different things. I really don't see how putting the battery voltage on the field would hurt anything - unless the generator was not turning. This might cause a high current in the field windings - causing them to burn out.
