Sorry, my mistake it seems. The accent shape under )I$.FH appears in 
the BHS inset lists of disjunctive and conjunctive accents, and my 
Latin is barely up to understanding the text! But it does appear that 
from this list that the accent here is Tipxa, not Mayela.

Would there normally be dagesh lene in a bet after Tipxa, when the 
previous word ends in a vowel?

                Now actually your quote below is incorrect
                (compared with printed BHS) because you have omitted the
dagesh in
                B."YT, which is unusual I think after a word ending in a
vowel sound,
                )I$.FH , where there is no disjunctive accent; so we can
take this as
                dagesh forte rather than dagesh lene.


Seems to me that there IS a disjunctive accent here.
