I know what I am asking.
That's good, but I'm not sure it's clear to others.
White has alternatives on move 4, what to say?
Here is the game with 6.Bg5:

I play 4.d5--I like playing this move and it is in the repertoire. (Benko declined with 4..g6, Benoni (not modern), KID with an early ..c5, etc)
I have no objection to playing against the MB, _but_ since this unusual move-order would be the only one for Black to reach the MB against me, I'd like to avoid it altogether, even if it means an "irregular" variation. How good is 6.Bg5? (Or any else deviation for White in this line after 4.d5 g6.)
What's more, should I choose 6.cxd5 (the Modern Benoni continuation) in a particular game, I wouldn't be able to play 7.Qa4+ (..d6 is not in yet), as I would do against the MB reached via the usual move-order. (But actually, the latter issue has nothing to do with this peculiar move-order, Black can omit 6..d6 anyway (1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 e6 3. c4 c5 4. d5 exd5 5. cxd5 g6 6. Nc3 Bg7), when there is no 7.Qa4 check.
(Any way for White to exploit the absence of 6..d6 ?)
