Re: MMX at let's say .95c maybe get some kind of non-null results?

Not

 Almost surely not.

 They are concerned about the propagation of the outgoing ray being
influenced by the reflected ray, and vice-versa -- that requires
nonlinear electrodynamics, with nonlinear effects being significant for
the light rays involved. Our current best models of electrodynamics are
linear, and the linearity has been tested at VASTLY higher intensities
than occur in the MMX.
 In our current best theories of electrodynamics, as long as the
apparatus is at rest in a locally-inertial frame, the MMX is predicted
to yield a null result, regardless of how its frame might be moving.

Tom Roberts,
You say "as long as the apparatus is at rest..."
So, what if an MMX is in low earth orbit? How would that be "at rest"?
