Mata Hari + Call the Great Beast

IMHO she burns like an ordinary Baali since she’s considered as such till the action is concluded.

Careful. That's not quite how it works. That card considers her as a Baali for three purposes, but not a fourth:

a) For playing the card - that card sees her as a Baali
b) For resolving the card - that card sees her as a Baali
c) For lingering effects not dependent on the card being in play - that card sees her as a Baali
d) For effects based on the card being in play - that card does not see her as a Baali

She's not considered to be a Baali by anything else. So you can, for example, have Mata Hari play CtGB, and then modify the action with Stiff Contempt (Samedi) and Uncontrolled Impulse (Ishtarri).
