This is equivalent to the situation where Alice and Bob only know of one neighbour each (because they only want to connect to one trusted node or something). No more or less broken than that. Alice's fast neighbour just acts as a proxy for all her requests, so document clustering happens as a result of her neighbour's closeness relation instead of hers. Likewise for Bob.
