You have a big block so that there are more transactions, so even though the individual transaction fee is still low, the *total* of those fees is sufficient incentive to miners.
At first I thought like you did, then I realised how simple the answer actually was.
For this to be true those transactions need to take place on the netowrk. That was the point of the thread, i think: they won't take place on the network as it's inaccessible for people with low bandwidth or HDstore aswell as unattractive to people who are interested in a decentralised network or want to run full nodes (most who know about the tech will want to have that).
So the gavinfork builds on the presumption massadoption will happen, which it won't with this kind of recource use.
So what you get is an unsustainable network in the long run. You will be forced to either scale down, enforce fees with central planning (communist style) or raise the 21 mln max coins to keep the network running in the end of the day.
But before you meet that dead end most people with a brain (and money) will have moved to a more sustainable and viable coin or actually back to the integer Mpcoin chain we use today (in case they ever left it).
Bitcoin can be scaled, but it can't be scaled ahead of demand or it'll be unsustainable. Fact.
Miners will not even accept the fork as it robs them from future income. So there will also be no consensus in the network. All this fork does is make look Gavin and his cheerleaders like
complete idiots and undermine investors confidence.
