Escrow service doesn't works without arbitrage service. Your "So in closing:" is actual for GetAFreelnacer, because GAF lack of arbitrage service.
When arbitrage service exists - buyer can ask about arbitrage and get all your money back. If coder at fault - he will receive appropriate rating (like "horrible"). Coder can ask about arbitrage too.
For example:
http://www.rentacoder.com/RentACoder/SoftwareBuyers/ShowBuyerInfo.asp?lngAuthorId=906332
(Arbitration/mediation result):
CoderNameHere (the seller) agreed in their Seller Contract to upload all deliverables to the site by the deadline or they would forfeit the project. CoderNameHere did not do so. All funds in escrow were returned to BuyerNameHere (the buyer).

You describe how coder can cheat buyer at GAF.
I can describe how buyer can cheat coder at GAF. Even when all money escrowed:
1. Say, I am GAF buyer.
2. I employ a GAF coder. I put money to escrow.
3. Coder complete my task. And send me whole source code.
4. Buyer doesn’t complete escrow transaction, but send to coder "Last thing I forgot to ask you".
5. Each time coder complete "last thing", buyer will send new "last thing I forgot to ask you".

In result:
GAF buyer has full source code. GAF coder can't touch money, but ordered to work for free.
What coder can do without arbitrage service ?
