Attractors are features of evolutionary systems, it'd be wierd if their weren't attractors in goal space.

Sure. Think about the optimal creature - for instance - and don't anybody tell me that fitness is relative to the environment - we can see the environment.
Another point is that - even if there's no competition (and natural selection) involving alien races, the fear of such competiton is likely produce a similar adaptive effect - moving effective values towards universal instrumental values.
