It might be a strategic mistake on their part (if the (2)→(3) "radicalization effect" is larger than the (2)→(1) "stigmatization effect"), but I don't think it's obvious. And if it's a mistake in the Current Year (because it's better to seek favorable terms of surrender rather than risk the victor's wrath when the war is already effectively lost), it might not have been in Current Year Minus Five, or Minus Ten, _&c._, when the coalition backing (3) was less powerful and therefore had a weaker bid.
