Default Treasure before kill

Hey guys i just played a game of Booty with my Girlfriend(i now how that sounds), but.. she was lvl 9 and against Great White Shark then i wandered in Jean La Foot. And here comes the question:
She made Jean leave the combat with Davy Jones' Lucre, and thus snatched Jeans three treasure cards as soon as he left. I wanted to object but the card did not state that she had to defeat the remaining monsters to get them, like the Magic Lamp from Original Munchkin does. So i wondered if that is the intention or just a loophole?
The same problem could be present with Polymorph potion from OM.

This is from the FAQ:

Quote:
Important Note #4: Fighting Multiple Monsters
When you are in combat with more than one monster, you cannot resolve ANY aspect of the combat until ALL monsters are defeated or until the munchkins flee. This means that if you use an ability to make one monster disappear, you cannot claim a level and/or Treasures for beating it (depending on the method used) unless you can then kill or defeat all the remaining monsters. You cannot, for instance, use your Wizard to charm one monster and take its Treasures before fighting the rest. Combat isn't over until the WHOLE combat is over.
I'm not familiar with Munchkin Booty or the cards you are specifying, but I'm pretty sure the above statement applies to any combat situation.

It's also right in the rules, page 1, in the callout box entitled, "Contradictions Between Cards and Rules," which lists four rules which no card can break unless the card specifically says it is breaking such a rule. In other words, if a card seems to break one of those four rules, it doesn't unless it says, explicitly, that it is breaking that rule. The specific rule in this case:
3. You cannot collect rewards for defeating a monster (e.g., Treasure, levels) in the middle of a combat. You must finish the fight before gaining any rewards.
