For the purposes of finding the median, halve same double. It will only
change if a majority of non-apathetic votes are for halve or a majority of
non-apathetic votes are for double.

Why should miners only be able to vote for double the limit or
halve the limit? If you're going to use bits, I think you need to use two
bits:
0 0 = no preference (wildcard vote)
0 1 = vote for the limit to remain the same
1 0 = vote for the limit to be halved
1 1 = vote for the limit to be doubled
User transactions would follow the same usage. In particular, a
user vote of 0 0 (no preference) could be included in a block casting any
vote, but a block voting 0 0 (no preference) could only contain
transactions voting 0 0 as well.
Sounds like a good encoding to me. Taking the median of the three
options, and throwing away don't care votes entirely, makes sense.
I hope you mean the *plurality* of the three options after throwing
away the don't cares, not the *median*.
Median ensures that voting no change is meaningful. If double + no
change = 66%-1, you'd expect the result to be no change, not halve
With a plurality vote you'd end up with a halving that was supported by
a minority.
Never mind. I think I've figured out what you're getting at, and you're
right. We wouldn't want halve to win on a plurality just because the
remaining majority of the vote was split between double and
remain-the-same. Good catch. :)
