I agree that it's likely a bad idea. But I do find there are sometimes I find myself pulling on the upstroke, as my muscles used for the down stroke are getting tired. I've wondered if it's any significant amount of power for that moment in time. But I only have a single sided PM. And for certain my muscles used for pulling up don't seem like they'll ever get use to doing that for very long.
These are usually times when I'm trying to sprint up a hill.
