If your buddy drops below your MOD (passive panic, buoyancy problems, etc.) then you won't be able to assist them unless you are willing to take a risk on getting OxTox (and if you take this risk and fit then there would be two of you needing assistance/dead).
But this is the case regardless of what your buddy is breathing.  If you want to chase your buddy below your MOD then that is your choice, take a breathe, chase and retrieve them and then get the hell out of there.  The fact that you are on different gasses doesn't seem to be particularly relevant.
