Many of the examples are not like Newcomb's problem, but are just rephrased to use timeless decision-theory-esque language. To be like newcomb's problem you don't just want TDT to work, you want causal decision theory to not work, i.e. you want the problem to be decision-determined but not action-determined. This is more exotic, but may be approximated by situations where other people are trying to figure out your real feelings.
