I don't see that logic. The translation pretty clearly says "the pyramid (called): <name of pyramid>, of the queen". And it repeats that several times. "Mernere-Shines-andis-Beautiful" is simply presented as the name of the queen's pyramid.
And it appears to be Weni, not the pharaoh, who's referring to that pyramid as the queen's pyramid.
Again, nowhere in that excerpt does it say Weni actually saw any major pyramid or witnessed the construction of such.
But I haven't read Weni's entire bio yet...
[Edit: OK, I read his autobio. One thing's for sure, he really wants us to know the king loved him!]
