Title explains it. There are 2 versions of this command, no input and a monster as an input. Only the no input one doesn't account for ML. Wiki states that the no input version accounts for in combat changes while the monster input version does not, did confirm that is true. Did the following while in the fight with Ed. Standard SC.
Also fought a tomb servant and that behaved as expected. Which is why I think this issue is only with Ed. Haven't tested with other bosses. My sample size is low. Happy to test other monsters if anyone would like. Tomb servant test:
