The worst thing you could do is start while working at $DAYJOB and find out after the fact that your employment contract stipulates that they own all associated IP.
That's why you negotiate that stuff before you start on the startup. And if you $DAYJOB won't accept a reasonable agreement, then you find a new $DAYJOB.
You raise a valid point, but in the grand scheme of things, it's just a detail, not a complete blocker to the idea of funding your startup through your own salary.
