The flight crew, who are likely the same people if it's just an aircraft turnaround, may be surprised to see you on the immediate return trip, but they know what an MR is.
I think you misread the post. The passenger is flying in from MIA and then wanting to fly to DFW two hours later. It will be two completely different aircraft as well. Personally, this is risky especially if the outbound flight from MIA is delayed and then you miss the connection in UIO. It also isnt as simple and quick as PTY where you get off the plane and then hop right back on at the same gate. If you have your boarding pass for the next flight, you have to follow the signs for "international passenger transit."
