Yeah I really hope something like this happens. In the back of my mind there is a reason why he made Mirajane an S-Class Mage, there is reason why he emphasized her former and current strength, there is a reason why he made her Take Over Demons(which could easily tie in with Zeref), and there must be a reason why he keeps downing her character so much.

He must be doing all of this to ensure her a huge comeback and back-story, unless he is just being a meanie and wants to show how better Erza is than her constantly( please no).
