No, as far as I can see, it is not inherited. The recipe for the \rmoustache
in MX1 is

\setslot{bracerightmid}[This slot growing the delimiter $$\big\rmoustache$$'.]
% There must be at least an extensible version.
% This encoding has just that.
\varchar
\vartop{bracerighttp}
\varbot{braceleftbt}
\varrep{braceleftex}
\endvarchar
\endsetslot

Regards, Matthias

PS: How do you like the new font tables ? Over the weekend, it occured
to me that we could improve the tables further by moving the \curlywedge
and \curlyvee from MS1 to their \precc and  \succ friends in MSP.
