I just answered due to a strong gut feeling. It’s some time since I read that article.
But there’s always a way to set up a particular situation (at least regarding thought-experiments) where the optimal strategy is by definition of the rules not to update on evidence. If I remember right it didn’t matter if Omega left and so it couldn’t remove money anymore, because it was capable of perfect prediction and only does bestow those who do not update, i.e. are irrational agents under most other ‘real-life’ circumstances.
Anyway, I just tried to point you to to something because nobody replied to that particular question yet. I even had to look up what ‘TDT’ stands for :-)
