RE: IME dipoles do not respond well to typical symmetrical steep crossovers

The polarity needs to remain inverted - remember Magnepan did not mention changing the polarity with their recommendation.
Here is the OEM xo (LP 4th order @ 280 and HP 1st order @ 200):
and here is the Magnepan recommended xo for biamping (LP 3rd order @ 250 and HP 1st order @ 200):
In either case the filters need to be "phase aligned". The output curves are similar and I expect good success with either but the 4th order will be closer to the original voicing.
