In the past, I have thought to compare this with לא אפשר ולא קא מכוון, as we see by other איסורי הנאה. I do not know the ins and outs of Avoida Zora, so I can’t be sure I am right with this, but the way the אחרונים explain the היתר of לא אפשר ולא קא מכוון, I don’t know if you can apply it to Histaklus; it would only be by איסורי הנאה. See חי’ ר’ שמעון שקאפ נדרים סי’ ט”ו וט”ז. (Yes, I know not to pasken halachah from a Chiddushei R’ Shimon!)

A friend of mine recently showed me that the חפץ חיים does apply לא אפשר ולא קא מכוון to the case in בבא בתרא; (http://beta.hebrewbooks.org/reader/reader.aspx?sfid=14233), although he explains that Arayos is worse.

Perhaps that’s why there is a היתר אונס here; it’s anyways technically מותר because of פסיק רישא; it’s only the חומרא דעריות. Dunno.
