Yup, the intent of the rules is that they can't, and I'm sure this is intended to mirror Gloranthan reality -- even Arkat ditched his old cult when he joined a new one. Being an initiate does imply a certain level of devotion to a god, and while the numbers in the Hero Wars rules may be a bit arbitrary, most Gloranthans who want to deal with lots of gods just do it, without initiating. They are worshippers of a pantheon, after all.
I'm guessing that the player wants more magic? You might allow them to learn certain affinities or feats separately (see <http://www.pensee.com/dunham/glorantha/dawnAge/nallindia.html> for an example). I'd still expect them to maintain proper piety -- it's hard to be a good Humakti and a good Eurmali at the same time...
