Does Maya allow multi-cut on symmetry edge?

I have been looking at a tutorial from Autodesk Japan and found it was using multi-cut tool with symmetry enabled. Specially starting from the symmetry edge.

When I try to do it, the symmetry edge loop prevents me from starting on it (showing a disabled cursor), starting from anywhere else is fine.

Has Maya changed in 2016? If so, is the alternative to add an edge loop and delete unwanted edges?

Then I realize I can just starting from the closest edge and cut back to the symmetry edge.. so a non-issue
