So it seems, they really try to avoid doing that if indeed they are not the first carrier.

If a carrier tries to claim otherwise, start quoting fare rules.
But you'd have to have someone in Mozambique actually sell the ticket. Maybe there's a TA there that could do so or maybe the QR people in Maputo would be able to do it, but it seems like a recipe for struggle.
