Nope, Manatsu no Eve (DoD), never really was, even though it would have
been nice to have it that way, there were just too many things that
didn't mesh...  It might be best to consider MnE (DoD) as a parallel
universe that lies between the OVAs and the TV Tenchi Series.
As far as the Mihoshi special is concerned, the framework, where
Mihoshi tells her tale is quite probably the OVA universe, but the
interior, the "tale" itself, is nothing more than that, "a fairy tale."
 There's no way a mad scientist used giant squeaky hammers to punch
holes in reality, nor at any time did Sasami break out a wand and start
acting like a Mahou Shoujo (no matter how many fan-fics want her to do
so, even in play-acting).

However, do remember this one thing, until Kajishima closes that door
completely, by letting us in on Mihoshi's past, it is always possible
that one of Mihoshi's former partners was named (romanized) Kiyone. 
After all, the number of Miho's in anime series is staggering (over 20
IIRC), and the number of Ryoko's is over 8, in just those series I have
viewed (though the Kanji for each of the Ryoko's is different for every
one), and Kajishima added one himself in GXP.
