As the title suggests, I am currently signed with an MM bank and expected to start working there this summer. That said, I saw a posting on LinkedIn for an analyst position at a BB in a group that I'm very interested in joining. Would it be totally stupid to apply for this position? I.e., could it really backfire?
Does anyone have any experience with this?

Then do the BB. Easy decision.
The "then" is throwing me off here. Are you saying just to go ahead and apply to the BB regardless, or are you saying to do something else first (e.g. start with the MM) and then apply to the BB?
yeah probably make sure you start first. there will be spots when some burnt out first year quits right after their first bonus
Got it, that is a very good point. Thanks for the insight. Do you think waiting to apply is worth the risk that the position will probably be filled by the time I start? The posting is ambiguous about the start state, but it says "Generally began program in summer of 2022." Not exactly sure what that means, but it seems consistent with 1st years quitting after their bonus.
Would apply immediately
