It does seem like there may be an inconsistency, but there's other examples of this type of thing happening, like the Epic Rules. Most Epic feats are something extra you get to your other abilities, but the Halfling's feat and some other feats enhance one of their original abilities instead and in those cases, they replace the original ability. In the same way, the Bad Stuff adds to the even if you escape stuff unless it is simply enhance the even if you escape stuff.
