It's entirely possible that Madara WAS edo'd with hashirama cells. Keep in mind that he bit off a small piece and inserted it in his wounds. He didn't have a hashiboob normally, it was Kabuto that attached a ton of it to him. His transmigration was also over, so he couldn't have awakened the Rinnegan a second time, since he would've lacked Indra's chakra. So it seems to me Madara simply hid his real power until it became convenient to use.
