No, it can only take you up to 1, not 1 + 1 CP. You could spend your point on 50 1st city coins if your ambition is HD (equals 12,5 E, with a somewhat hard-to-get resource at lower levels).

The game message is "(...) does not increase, because it's higher than 0". So once you're above 0 (=1), it won't increase your stat further.
