I believe that is correct.
However, just to be clear, it would not infringe the GPL-only
copyright owners copyrights for someone to recover the
your-choice-of-GPL-or-MPL part by removing the GPL-only changes
and distributing the result again as "your-choice-of-GPL-or-MPL."
I am not a lawyer, so please do not use this as legal advice.
