he steps back after initial support and lets the chips fall where they may and after the dust settles...gets at least a clean slate to start with...albeit one that could be completely and utterly beat up and broke.

If I'm Ignatieff, I'd be upset right now.
The only thing that was going to heal the Liberal Party was time. All they had to do was act like a responsible opposition and force the ruling party into comprimises. Over time, they would have imporved their popularity. By forcing themselves into government, they are really doing themselves a disservice and Ignatieff will be lucky if he can ever be PM (assuming the Liberals did choose him).
Could you imagine in Harper managed to lure Ignatieff to the Conservatives? The Liberal Party would be set back quite a bit.
Layton is looking pretty smart in my opinion. He is forcing himself into cabinet and hurting the Liberals while he does it.
