Maybe you are right in that case because it is an effect of a power rather than the power itself acting at the time. However, if you consider it as suppressing their memories constantly until it is removed then you could also say it is the power itself that it still active, which means it would be negateable by IB. It depends on how the power works technically I guess. This is because if she can't destroy memories but only make them submerged, they are just stuck within their subconsciousnesses but can't be accessed by their brains (this is how amnesia usually works when you don't lose brian cells like in Touma's case). Therefore, the system preventing them from accessing these memories could either be considered as continuous or not if you instead say that their neural pathways were just changed to prevent them thinking these thoughts in a way such that it isn't constant...
