Good question. I was initial going to say no, then I read the text. The only requirement for the '50-hour' CBIR route is that you have 50 hours as PIC under IFR in 'an aeroplane'. So technically you could get a CBIR then do a 5 hour MEIR course at a dual ATO. A MEIR test with a dual rated examiner could potentially count as both the upgrade for one authority and an initial (50-hour)CBIR for the other.
