I'm confused -- how can there be "more than one measure as a pickup?"
Not at all unusual in Berlioz, who was certainly not constrained by barlines, and present in Tchakovsky as well (I'm thinking of the "pickups" to the 5/4 waltz movement).
Textbook rules are fine, but don't expect every composer to do what the rules expect.
