Yes; Kromm has so posted.

At 100 points, you're entitled to this kind of rules-bending.

The uFAQ has a reference when calculating attacks per turn with an indirect Krommquote:

So how many attacks can a character make in a turn, maximum?

Note that Altered Time Rate effectively provides you with extra turns for the purpose of the above calculation!

So extra maneuvers do sometimes act effectively as though they were turns, and overly-precise parsing can lead to errors. The original of the post referenced in this uFAQ entry (from 2006) also explicitly mentioned the ability to shift maneuver types from AoA to AoD.

The above guidelines on number of attacks apply separately to each of your maneuvers, benefiting from both in the same turn.

The intent is evidently for the defensive state of your last maneuver in a turn to persist until you choose the first maneuver on your next turn.
