I really fail to see why you're all so fascinated by Newcomb-like problems. When you break causality, all logic based on causality doesn't function any more. If you try to model it mathematically, you will get inconsistent model always.
On second thoughts, since many clever philosophers spend careers on these problems, I may be missing something.
