That would be a feature that would have to be added to it.

https://github.com/rcn-ee/repos/blob/master/bb-wl18xx-firmware/suite/jessie/debian/bb-wl18xx-tether

Right now there is a global disable:

TETHER_ENABLED

https://github.com/rcn-ee/repos/blob/master/bb-wl18xx-firmware/suite/jessie/debian/postinst#L21

You could boot up with:

TETHER_ENABLED=no

try to connect over wlan0, if failing, then do:

sudo sed -i -e 's:TETHER_ENABLED=no:ETHER_ENABLED=yes:g' /etc/default/bb-wl18xx
then run
sudo /usr/bin/bb-wl18xx-tether

little messy, as we are also messing with usb0.. might be eaiser to
just write your own variation that handles only SoftAp0...
