i do understand it. but your diverting away from a block containing transactions where the pool is paying themselves..  to talk about a different scenario about spending later....

because after the 2 weeks of the transactions being (kind of stuck) in a block.. when segwit becomes live for everyone else. the pool can then move the funds using segwit legitimately because they are moving funds from the confirmed blocks using the privkeys they own.

only way to prevent it is to roll back the chain two weeks orphaning off 2016 blocks just to make that malicious block disapear from being confirmed..

as for your newly elaborate scenario about anyone can spend.. those transactions wont be accepted in mempool of old clients. not until segwit is live.
so as i said. a malicious pool can create a block. with a 2 week headstart (2016 blocks) to secure their transaction. and then when live. they can spend the transaction.
Sorry, but I still don't understand your scenario. Can you describe it more specifically with reference to the output type that was used in the outputs?
