That may well be right - a cliquebot may well decide I'm not in its clique, and defect. And I, running its source code, will decide that my counterparty IS in the clique, and cooperate. Not a good outcome.

Clearly I need to modify my algorithm so that I run the other bot's code without bothering to analyse it - and have it play against not its actual opponent, but me, running it.
