The Shulchan Aruch paskens that one has to bentch after eating Pas haBa'ah beKisnin, provided that others would fix a seudah on the same exact quantity (בטלה דעתו - both לחומרא and לקולא).
The Mishnah Berurah paskens the chidush of the Magen Avraham to bentch after eating some mezonos and something else when the two combine together to a normal kvius seuda.
The Mishna declares that things with different shiurim cannot combine. From here (and the occurrence of the same principle in Kodshim) the Chidah is questioning this ruling (in Birkei Yosef).
The Aruch haShulchan is questioning this ruling about counting non-mezonos items towards the amount of kvius seudah and seemingly paskens against – with proofs.
The Aruch haShulchan refines his ruling and suggests strongly to take into consideration those opinions which want to count non-mezonos items as well, but probably only in an apparent seudah / הערמה-setting (otherwise he would contradict his earlier ruling).
The Magen Avraham brings compelling proofs from the original Gemara's lashon (see מחצית השקל: https://beta.hebrewbooks.org/tursa.aspx?a=oc_x977) and Tosfos / Smak (based on the fact that these are seudos of mitzvah, and as such, it would be unusual to have them on mezonos only).
His proof offers a novel reading and understanding in the following Gemara and the whole concept of קביעות סעודה. It is surprisingly coincides with the above distinction of the Aruch haShulchan.
At first sight, the Gemara demonstrates the greatness of the amount consumed by Rav Huna, but in the Magen Avraham's novel reading, his feast had a "abstinent" aspect: that he was avoiding anything else besides mezonos (cf. פת במלח תוכל). Others would probably extend this "meager" seudah with other items as well (besides decreasing its mezonos-quantity).
Here the Gemara seemingly brings a contradictory ruling in which the amount of קביעות סעודה is not determined by the people in general, rather based on the individual (further emphasized by the תנאי כפול-like formulation).
In the light of all the above, the Aruch haShulchan's critique about the Magen Avraham's proof from here seems somewhat strange, since the Mg"A's explanation about the mention of Purim is much stronger connected to the topic than the assumption of the Ah"S about people eating לחמניות on Purim only, in the time of the Gemara. (Also consider Ah"S 168:28 where he is making it clear that we have no information about there eating customs which deepens this questions.)
