Received reply:
I was kind of surprised going through the rules as there used to be rule against such
activity if I recall correctly.

Answer:  The ARRL has (had?) such a limitation, but not CQWW.  

There was a past CQWW ruling about
using "other calls" to help the score of the "mother ship," so as others have stated, it is 
probably wise to not work the station where you are also operating (mult-op) from, but I don't
actually see that in the currently published rules.   This ruling ostensibly was to prevent folks
from say, calling CQ with their own call and if a needed one showed up, then changing calls
back to the multi-call.  Sort of a "free station."  Please don't do that.
