I can see two scenarios that makes this rule important. One is in the
case of there only being one share of NYC left available. The holder of
the M&H can use this ability to effectively steal the share from a
potential buyer. The other is the rare circumstance that this could
trigger is the transfer of presidency of the NYC.

I personally think that this is such a rare occurrence that it's not
worth spending a lot of time on. I'm happy to leave this as-is and only
allow the transfer on the owning player's turn.

We should probably publish a document of known differences in our
implementation of the rules just to keep track of minutiae like this.
