The thing to remember about multiple imputation is that it is
primarily designed to make inference about coefficients in
isolation. Making inference about combinations of coefficients
in a multiple imputation context is going to be very hard,
though some progress has been made, see for example this talk
by Rose Medeiros at the 2008 Fall North American Stata Users'
Group Meeting: http://ideas.repec.org/p/boc/fsug08/11.html .
Making cross model inference is even harder, and I wouldn't
be surprised if that hasn't even been worked out in theory, let
alone implemented in software.
