The system in question is not closed, as the state change requires application of external energy. Thus expecting a conservation of the initial energy only may be unwarranted. My intuition is that there's a missing counter-action energy which would be required in order to maintain the initial state in such a circuit. Once the state change is being effectuated (switch closed), it would change the balance of action-counter-action which would lead to dissipation in the real world. Not sure how to quantify/formalize it.
