Yes, but consider the case where it all breaks because you associate to
the same IBSS. IMHO correctness is more important than "nice features".
It would be possible to fix the issue, by keeping track of the beaconing
etc. in software and having the two IBSS interfaces see each other via
software since they can't in hardware, but I'm not interested in
expending that effort right now.
