I'm pretty sure it's not true.

Cuz think of it, if Mafioso dies, you can't select to remember that role. If all mafia die, you still won't be able to select that role.

The "numerous people" confirmed it only because they saw the message at day saying "An Amnesiac has remembered that he was a Mafioso!". So they think the Amnesiac picked the actual role directly and remembered it. The Mafioso is unique and you can't select the become that role by directly remembering it, it's simply impossible.

The promotion of a mafia member from a MS or MD into Mafioso takes place before the Amnesiac's remembered role is revealed(this is presuming the last maf died same night amne remembered). So when the Amne's role becomes whatever mafia role he remembered, he instantly gets promoted to Mafioso before the role he remembered is revealed. It then shows the message "An Amnesiac has remembered that he was a Mafioso!" instead of whatever mafia role he was supposed to be.

People have mistaken this for the Amne remembering Mafioso, but it's clearly stated that it's a unique role and you CANNOT remember a unique role directly that way. In reality, the game shows the role the amne has become as a final result, That final result in this case is Mafioso.

This was already inquired about in the BMG forums, and it was answered by experienced players who tested it in the PTR.
