Yes, p. 326 of the Stata 12 programming manual says the command must ereturn e(b) and e(V), and factor does not do that. Sometimes you can find other commands that do what you want, e.g. sometimes you can use -mean- when -summarize- is being fussy.
I would probably be a little leery of using -cmdok- with Stata's own commands; if the command doesn't explicitly support -mi- there may be a good reason for it. User-written commands are another matter. It may be that the programmer didn't know how to add mi support or that the command was written before mi became available.
