Yes, but the instruction issued required the pilot to enter downwind on the far side of the runway. That doesn't make a lot of sense.
Agree it didn't make a lot of sense, disagree that there was any requirement to enter downwind. According to the OP, it was just to report downwind at midfield. From the time the pilot got that instruction, to the time he reported the pilot was free to manage his own navigation to the reporting point.
The lack of the requirement to 'enter on a 45' or 'make standard entry' or 'overfly at xxxx feet' or anything else is the key.
