I've also wondered this! The same with Lightroom when it initially displays the thumbnail of a RAW image, then reverts to the unprocessed version. I want an option that applies whatever processing it did to display that initial thumbnail!
Both the LCD and Lightroom use the embedded jpeg in the RAW, which is based on the selected picture style. So, anything that boosts saturation etc., in there will apply that to the thumbnail used for the LCD preview and also the image shown by Lightroom until it loads the RAW, when it will suddenly lose the saturation etc. that was applied to the jpeg in camera.
To the OP: I'm not sure you can have 'no picture style selected'. You may not have chosen one, but the camera needs parameters to make the jpeg, so will have a default picture style. I use either 'faithful' or 'neutral' to keep the jpeg as close to the RAW as possible (it also gives a more accurate histogram etc).
To Blackcap: I know what you mean, the images do sometimes seem to lose some 'pop' when lightroom switches from jpeg to RAW, however that is simply because you haven't converted the RAW yet, once you have added the saturation, contrast, colour balance, etc. that you want, it should look better than the embedded jpeg you first saw (if it doesn't, shoot jpeg as the camera is doing a better job than you 
).
Of course, I presume that you mean you would prefer that as a starting point. I know my Lightroom (v1) can't do that but I'm not sure about later versions which have been much upgraded and may have added that feature. If not, DPP can apply the 'as shot' picture style and (I think) allows you to select the different picture styles and see how each looks. I also believe that you can download more styles as well.
I'm not a DPP user though, so can't be more specific I'm afraid.
I was on about overall 'look' and not the finer details of the image!
