I expect the same dynamics would exist in proportional representation with a majoritarian allotment because it has a similar tendency to punish those who are divisive, by automatically rewarding the outcomes as a plurality proportional representation wins (i.e., your "smeared" candidate gets office as well as you do) and no one gets 50% or more. I'll have to ponder on this point a bit more.
