All Behe must do is appeal to the Wellsian argument that there is no way to know that any of those species were related and that those bones had those functions.
My guess is that Behe very much would accept the relatedness of those species. My understanding is that he is very much in the evolution camp, with the exception of his "intelligent design" quirk.
Miller cites another of his Behe encounters in "Finding Darwins's God". I don't recall the exact context, but Miller brought up the common ancestor of man and the great apes. Behe apparently surprised Miller, by promptly conceding that the common ancestor concept was acceptable to him.
Behe, even in his own mind, has very little real arguement against evolution.
