There are 19 research references on the moral credential effect [1] and self licensing [2] on their respective wikipedia pages. It might be a bit of work to go through all of them looking for disqualifying flaws. Maybe we can assume they are ok tentatively?

I think the parent post was referring to the specific study regarding disagreeing with sexist statements -> favoring gender stereotypes in hiring. I don't think he was questioning the validity of the moral credential effect.
