This one.
The issue as I see it: Bob can not broadcast success_tx and wait until
Alice has broadcasted refund_tx_1. While refund_tx_1 is in the mempool,
Bob gives success_tx to the friendly miner to have a chance to
invalidate success_tx. Bob already learned secretAlice, so he grabs
his LTC back. If the Bob-friendly miner has luck, success_tx is
confirmed while refund_tx_1 is invalidated, and Bob now have both LTC
and BTC, while Alice is out of her BTC.

Ah, so this is possible because of the step 5 in the diagram: ``Alice
gives Bob her key ("Alice")'' -- As I understand, this is a way to deny
Alice to use refund_tx_1.
Then if Alice gives her _key_ to Bob before Bob has to share secretBob
via success_tx, could Bob just spend the Alice&Bob output of the
very first, "commitment" transaction that locks BTC ? Bob will receive
BTC, and the LTC can be locked forever, but Bob doesn't care, he got
his BTC.
