Yeah, that outcome seems pretty straightforward...
It's probably not hard to require that writes (which require a majority) also require the lease-holder to ack the write, which seems like it'd solve this. It's a bit odd that they don't mention anything like this, but it is a fairly short blog post.
A bit of lazy browsing didn't lead me to any more detailed descriptions of how it handles partitions. Anyone else know?

Writes can only get issued from the partition holder, in addition to reads. I had to dig into the documentation links to find the design doc on github, which detailed this behavior.
