If you set timelock of BPT to (H+1) then you sort of discourage this behavior because a miner of block H might be not the same as miner of block (H+1), thus he cannot grab this bounty for sure. Still, there is a chance that same miner will mine both blocks, so game-theoretically it makes sense to insert SAT into your block since your expected payoff is positive. So I'm afraid miners will just grab these bounties regardless of segwit activation.
