Patterns tend to break at simple joints. One simple subset of worlds is those worlds in which V is very large. Thus, a strong correlation between U and V observed for naturally occuring V values may not transfer to worlds in which V is very large. Further, since there may be relatively few naturally occuring worlds in which V is very large, extremely large V may coincide with small U values without breaking the statistical correlation.
Are U and V swapped here? I was expecting the discussion of Extramal Goodhart to be about extreme proxy values, and U was defined to be the proxy at the beginning of the post.

They were. Fixed. Thanks!
