The Universe is already unFriendly - the lower limit for acceptable Friendliness should be "more Friendly than the Universe" rather than "Friendly".
If we can prove that someone else is about to turn on an UFAI, it might well behoove us to turn on our mostly Friendly AI if that's the best we can come up with.
One must compare a plan with alternative plans, not with status quo. And it doesn't make sense to talk of making the Universe "more Friendly than the Universe", unless you refer to the past, in which case see the first item.
Okay.
The previous plan was "don't let AGI run free", which in this case effectively preserves the status quo until someone breaks it.
I suppose you could revise that lower limit downward to the effects of the plan "turn on the UFAI that's about to be turned on". Like, steal the UFAI's source code and instead of paperclips shaped like paperclips, make paperclips that spell "whoops".
