Yes. This is an odd case: a chumrah derabbanan causes a chalos that ends
up creating a qulah in a deOraisa.

I had it on my docket since before Pesach to ask: Why is such a thing
possible WRT bitul chamewitz, but in other cases we look on the deOraisa
level separately. E.g. a geir qatan doesn't become a gadol WRT qabbalas
ol mitzvos on his/her birthday, when (s)he becomes a gadol for things
like aliyos laTorah. We require 2 sa'aros.

In EhE, deRabbanan level actions have chalos on the deOraisa level, but
we invoke "kol demeqadeish al daas derabbanan meqadeish". It's not
assumed possible in a general way.

Tir'u baTov!
