The default channel behavior is not very constrained by the specification, nor are there a lot of rules about sharing a channel (multiple authorized partners). I think it would be permissible to distribute the same document to multiple authorized partners on the default channel. There is a remark about FIFO being recommended, but it is not mandated. Bookkeeping for behavior of distributing, for example, a "request for quote" over a default channel would be implementation dependent, it seems to me. Do you see something specified that would prevent a request for quote from being distributed over a default MPC to numerous parties? Possibly such a use case could even be governed by an open authorization policy...

Yep - but resulting imo something that is less than limited, ie. once a message is retrieved from the default MPC it is gone whether or not it was retrieved by the intended party or not.
Perhaps a clarification/recommendation on that in the AS4 draft would suffice.
