Thanks Erik for the very interesting question. I do understand the question.
Rule 1c states that "it's illegal for a player to immobilize his own Dux".
Since the move you speak of opens a new path for the Dux to move, the Dux would not be immobilized, and therefore it would be a legal move; just like the Go rule where capture has priority over suicide that you refer to.
Thanks for the question. I will update the rules with a few illustration diagrams to clarify this specific situation.
