Yes, you did what I just said above:

"I am sure you can find one-off mitigations for attacks of this nature as
they arise"

But then the problem is everyone implementing your protocol needs to copy
these mitigations, and ensure they're done correctly, or you'll have
insecure clients (like Tim is worried about)

If you just published key fingerprints with the proofs, none of this would
be a problem.
