That's right, but it's now just a Marginal Victory (success vs. a success, but with a higher roll).

Yep. In play, we've found that the big difference in this set of circumstances comes in Extended Contests, where spending the HP makes the difference between forfeiting 2x the bid and forfeiting 1x the bid. It can be the difference between going out of the contest and staying active.
I hope this helps out.
