We can make Solomonoff induction believe all sorts of screwy things about consciousness. Take a few trillion identical computers running similar computations. Put something really special and unique next to one of the cases, say a micro black hole. Run solomonoff induction on all the computers, each with different input. Each inductor simulates the universe and has to know its own position in order to predict its input. The one next to the black hole can most easily locate itself as the one next to the black hole, if the black hole is moved, it will believe its consciousness resides in “the computer next to the black hole” and predict accordingly.
