I was reading the manual for the RB 67 Pro S for mirror up
operation. It
says that you first put the mirror up and then trip the shutter with a
shutter release cable, or if you don't have a release cable you just
move
the mirror up button back and it will trip the shutter. Now my
question is,
Would that not defeat the purpose of the mirror up operation?

Yes.

But it is fine to have a way to return the camera to a usable state,
(even) if you do not have a cable release handy.

I second that opinion. I think it's just a way to get back to a working
state in case cable is unavailable or not functioning (hard to imagine).

AFAIK it's impossible with the Hasselblad 500 C/M. Once you've tripped
the mirror and body shutter, you have the fire the lens shutter and
expose the film.
