My bad, slight HW hangover here. Then again, I'm not at all sure this makes much in the way of procedural sense; as I mentioned before, my personal test of whether something is the 'same' contest is precisely whether the objective has changed -- here it explicitly has, and I'd be very much inclined to say it's a new contest. Granted there are cans of worms there, but...
Needless to say it doesn't make a great deal of simulationist sense, and is also potentially a recipe for someone feeling somewhat hosed "gamistly" -- if you decide to withdraw from a contest because you're getting a hiding, if your opponent decides to 'pursue', chances are you'll be comparably hosed in trying to do that, too.
