I had actually heard of MMPO before - I do think it does fail later-no-help,
though.  Am I right?
It would be better to find a method that passes both for this purpose...
However, I wonder how well MMPO with a minimum first-place vote threshold
would work...

MinMax (pairwise opposition) satisfies LNHarm and usually gives results
that are similar to those of Condorcet methods. It can behave strangely
though, in electing a candidate with oddly few votes.

The method elects the candidate who minimizes the largest number of
votes against him in any pairwise contest. That is, it doesn't regard
who actually wins each pairwise contest.
