No, not absolutely.

I looked hard, trying to find something about the expenditure of MP.

According to C6.17, a Defensive First Firer may wait until, say, the 4th 
increment to fire.  It doesn't seem reasonable to me that a different 
subsequent Defensive First Firer may then declare to be firing at the 2nd 
MP.

I'm not sure.  Maybe there's one that I'm missing too.

This appears to be an Original Ed Q&A.  NRBH, but if it wasn't incorporated 
into 2nd Ed, then it's no longer valid for 2nd Ed.

Hmmm.
