... with the Mnemi Psionic ESP power talent affecting a grand total of six powers (only and ever) that don't require the power talent to use in the first place (as every Mnemi in existence has and uses those powers absent individual disadvantages to the contrary) but the Mnemi ESPer can't not purchase the Mnemi Psionic ESP power talent if they are going to purchase the Psionic ESP power talent at all; and they must purchase both power talents at the same level.

That strikes me as unfair.
The only thing I see that might be unfair is forcing the race to buy equal Talent levels for both sets of abilities. That is a campaign level decision, so it can't be considered a problem with giving them another Talent. Human ESPers presumably don't qualify to purchase the proposed Talent at all. Anyway, I'm just saying how I might handle such a build, by avoiding conceptual problems involved in the idea of getting the benefit of a Power Talent without actually belonging to the power.
