Why not coin this kind of position an "anti dead cube" position ?
Whether or not it is a double, it will be an automatic redouble/take if Blue doesn't throw a doublet.

If Blue doesn't double : in a cross-section of 36*36 games, he wins 6 games (all the doubles) *36 at 1 and loses 17-19 games *30 at 2. Gain is +96
If Blue doubles and White takes : same as above but multiplied by 2 because cube starts at 2. Gain is +192
So double.

If White drops, she loses 36*36 games at 1. Loss is -1296, compared to Loss -192 if she takes.
Monster take if there was any doubt.
