It does not work (which is the point of what mobipocket.com is doing to fictionwise customer's PIDs). In fact, I think you need to delete this PID from your account because it can cause other problems. OverDrive MOBIs from Books on Board may still be ok with KindleFIX but very few others.
One option is to use mobidedrm to strip the DRM (e.g. provide your Windows Desktop PID to FictionWise). The DRM-free copies work on the Kindle, but it is generally thought to be illegal to strip DRM in the US. It is hard to see who is hurt, though, by doing this for personal use on ebooks you bought.
