Hi John,
Thank you for the question. We have discussed this case in the paper, second paragraph of the “Bitcoin PoW Anchoring” Section:
> If a party spends current miner single-use-seal without creating a commitment - or committing to a header without sufficient PoW, such closing is considered invalid; in this case, any party is allowed to create a special bitcoin transaction providing publically-identifiableOP_RETURN
information ("announcement") about a new miner single-use-seal (protocol reset); only the firstOP_RETURN
announcement which is closed with a proper procedure is considered valid under the consensus rules.
Kind regards,
Maxim Orlovsky

Some questions about the Bitcoin PoW anchoring:
What if a miner spends the current miner single-use-seal while
creating a commitment, but makes the PMT only partially available, or
entirely unavailable ?
How do other miners reach consensus on whether a protocol reset is
required? It seems impossible to agree on something like PMT
availability (much like mempool contents).
