But there is conformation that the Masoretic pronunciation is in the
right ball park from the Greek form hebraios, which goes at least back
to the New Testament, I don't know how much earlier it is attested. So
it looks like there was no long vowel between the b and the r at least
by the 1st century CE.

The long second vowel a in hab/piru would not disappear in Hebrew, but
the
question is if the naqdanim or Masoretes correctly reproduced the
ancient
Hebrew pronunciation of the word 'ibry.
