I don't know what is the correct decision in this situation anymore, or how to think about such decisions.

Good, I'm in a similar state. :)

The problem has ASP-ish feel to it, you're punished for taking too much information into account, even though from the point of view of having taken that information into account, your resulting decision seems correct.

Yes, I noticed the similarity as well, except in the ASP case it seems clearer what the right thing to do is.
