As long as your ebonizing solution does not impair the absorbency of the underlying wood, you can use the Maloof oil/varnish mixture. The Maloof finish is an in-the-wood finish so anything that fills the pores of the wood would make it unusable.
Every time I have a concern of this nature I test it by using a sample piece.
