I'd taken future-Hamilton to mean that he could halt splitting in a human brain from a distance, thourh on re-reading it seems he could have meant he was somehow virtualizing past-Hamilton's brain at that point.

I don't really see how the moral argument can be made coherent. "Singleton" establishes that the human brain doesn't make use of interference effects, so I can't see how thinking would be regarded as responsible for generating the splits. The splitting would manifest as random noise that gets butterflied up to macroscopic scales, so any splitting would have to occur before any actual decision gets made. It seems to me that the real issue would have to be the fickleness of the decision-making process itself, and a qusp wouldn't change that, it just means that decisions are affected by meaningless noise in the environment alone and not by meaningless noise in the neuroanatomy as well. It seems about as practically significant as shuffling a deck of cards 1000 times instead of 2000.
