Anything with magical beast is going to get overwritten by 'monstrous humanoid>shapechanger' or 'humanoid>shapechanger'. While I can think of a couple of examples of the inverse working (with spells) on other types/subtypes, I can't think of any that work for lycanthrope to magical beast.

A little fuzzy as to how you should interpret it, but in my game, even if you couldn't get it(due to type pyramid), I'd make it so you count as one when beneficial(and sometimes when it's not, like vs Ranger's FE).
