Sure, you can error out a transaction but what gain is to be had over just being a 'rational actor' and collecting the transaction fee rather than giving your rivals a potential payday?
Unless they have an extremely high probability of mining the follow-on transactions this attack seems to have a very low (or even negative) benefit.
Though I would posit that if this attack were ever consistently profitable the system would have a much bigger problem to deal with.
