I think your guess is dead on - it's what I had imagined the scenario was before I saw the video. I see this all the time, and the social contract between car and pedestrian is the car slows. Heck even half the time people do this they don't even look at the car - it's quite crazy - I never do that mostly because I make the assumption that I will be the unlucky shit that was hit when someone decided to bite down on a messy Carls Jr burger.
Regardless of how I do this, it's a pretty accepted contract and definitely still piles the fault on the SDV in my opinion.
