What JMS wrote was

"As I began work on Babylon 5's first season, I felt it was important for me to
know where I was going not just in terms of benchmarks, as embodied by my note
cards with individual episodes broken out in varying degrees of detail, but as a
true narrative."

And then in the next paragraph, he mentions, as Joe D says, that the next day he
met Michael O'Hare at the Beverly Garland hotel "...where all the relocated cast
were being housed for work purposes."

Considering that JMS originally was expecting to go directly to series after
shooting the pilot, his working on Season One at the time the pilot was shooting
is certainly possible.
