That's an interesting case, though I think the problem is getting real independence. The torturers are likely to have shared beliefs about what answers would be plausible.
I don't know whether most torture advocates don't bring that up because they haven't thought of it, because it lacks the drama and certainty of a ticking bomb scenario, or (related) it obviously increases the risk of torturing innocent people.
