I think I agree with your underlying point -- that this kind of discrepancy in the voting system indicates a flaw.
This sounds like what the www.electionmethods.com site calls the "Strong Defensive Strategy Criterion": "If a majority of the voters prefer candidate A to candidate B, then they should have a way of voting that will ensure that B cannot win, without any member of that majority reversing a sincere preference for one candidate over another or insincerely voting two candidates equal."
I disagree with your emotional loading (e.g. the use of words like "subvert"), but you still have a valid point.
Is the wording of the SDSC better?
