I suspect that Wooble caused the PNP to send these votes not because e thought they would work, but because it was the easiest way of uncluttering the PNP's idea of what was going on in Agora after its server crash.
Say, this is another argument for allowing attempts to perform actions which will certainly fail; the PNP often votes late on Agoran Decisions due to the players of PerlNomic not deciding fast enough, and it's much easier for it to simply perform the failed actions than it would be for the PerlNomic server to figure out whether or not the actions would succeed. (It uses Zefram's website to determine which proposals are in their voting period, and Zefram does not update it instantaneously when the voting period ends.) -- ais523
