While it is likely to be true for "enhanced IBRS" (the one you leave always on, and which doesn't exist quite yet), for the current crop of processors that are way too prone to leak fleeting images of a future past, IMHO it is a IBRS property better tested before being trusted to exist.
After all, it is all about ghosts, and ghosts are tricky ;-)
