No, ISP mode doesn't know a "GO" command, because it is not a
debugging mode.  It asserts /RESET all the time anyway, and as soon as
you leave ISP mode, the target is supposed to start, as /RESET is
being deasserted.

In contrast, the debugging modi (JTAG or debugWIRE) can arbitrarily
stop and resume CPU operation; the latter is what CMND_GO is intended
for.

The attempt to send a CMND_GO command even in ISP mode is a benign bug
that slipped in somehow in one of the recent releases.
