Greg Maxwell pointed out to me on IRC that this idea doesn't work: there is only a receipt on the commitment to the offer (message) from the maker, not on the plaintext version, hence there is nothing stopping the maker from falsely claiming censorship after not sending the plaintext.

Reflecting on this a bit more, my intuition is that this problem is much more difficult than I had hoped; if there is a solution I suspect it involves much more sophisticated ideas. Many solutions just end up begging the question by presuming the existence of an uncensorable BB in order to create a new one; and/or use the blockchain for that function, but that is too slow and expensive, usually. I'd be happy to be proved wrong, though :)
