I'd still be inclined to clear from the rear if this position came up, just because there are so many other similar positions where clearing from the rear is the right idea.

However, if we're interested in exceptions, below is an interesting position pair that I discovered a little while ago. See if you can come up with an explanation for the rollout results.
