The Beis Shmuel cites it as well, in s.k. 17.  No differing opinion is cited.

1. See Chochmas Shlomo al asar.  He gives a lot of references to other
places in which he explained it at length, but I have not followed
them up.  But I was mechaven to what he says here.

2. Re the BY quoting the Nimukei Yosef, I haven't yet looked it up, but
a general note: I have reason to believe, based on a completely unrelated
instance, that the BY did not have access to the NY, and his quotes are
either second-hand or remembered from a time when he did have access.
Was it in print in his day?
