If Alice still has full control, she is already protected by my proposal, which 
does not require any protecting child transaction.

But in many cases she may not have full control. Make it clearer, consider 
that’s actually a 2-of-2 multisig of Alice and Bob, and the time locked tx is 
sending to Bob. If the time locked tx is unprotected in the first place, Bob 
will get all the money from both forks anyway, as there is no reason for him to 
renegotiate with Alice.
