This is easiest to resolve by asking what form such a pi``el would
take and how it might be written? Since you proposed this to Pere
it would only be curtious to provide him with your proposed form.
He has expressed his doubts that you can do that.
He has good reason.

I've expressed my doubts, too, commenting that the proposal
looks like an application of 'first year grammar' concepts without
regard to BH itself. So without a proposed and supported form
there is nothing to discuss. Just how do you propose to take a
root alef.yod.dalet and produce a pi``el participle spelled
mem.alef.dalet?
