I've always been somewhat iffy on the subject, but if your facts are right then a fighter4/____ would get an extra feat. I would still go with fighter4/_____, since you get your new abilities faster. Knowing this, adding an extra fighter level later would be a good way for getting an extra feat.
Off the top of my head, a fighter4/mage could take a fifth fighter level at mage level 7, to get spirit of flame or the equivilent immediately.
