It will not. We do not allow 4s input on any product with a linear BEC because the BEC will run very hot even without a load. On our older products, there was no max voltage so it would allow for any pack to be used. To reduce returns from use outside of our ratings we had to put a max voltage lock in place.
Our current smallest 4s ESC is the Mamba X.
Length: 2.14" (54.4mm)
Width: 1.39" (35.2mm)
Height: 1.18" (30.0mm)
No need to disable the BEC on the Mamba X because the BEC is rated for 8A at up to 6s.
