Dear Raphfrk,
I also see no obvious way how the "Anti-STV" approach might become
clone-proof when voters (or factions) can add options.
So, the method AMP (and variants thereof) still seems to be the only
solution yet...
I wonder if anyone comes up with a different approach. In particular,
every utilitarian should be interested strongly in solving this problem,
I guess :-)
Yours, Jobst

It is hard to see how to force a majority to give information about
lower preferences without having some form of candidate control.
However, if you give the candidate control to the voters, then the
majority can put up a majority of the candidates.
