The coordination hack to work around some of the stupidity of causal decision agents doesn't appear to be necessary here.
"Somehow working out that the other copies of themselves reply 'yes'" should be trivial for an agent focussed on causality when the copies are identical, have no incentive to randomise and have identical inputs. If the payoff for others disagreeing is identical to the payoff for 'no' they can be ignored. The conflict penalty makes the coordination problem more difficult for the causal agent in this context, not less.
