I’m guessing you already understood this, but as a person accosted and informed of this procedure, I know it’s more likely that I heard about it because the result was tails (than I was to hear about it before the toss). Those experiments that resulted in heads, I (most likely) never got to hear about.
So in asking if there’s any relevant thing that’s different, you expect a halfer to come forth and explain himself. Unfortunately, I’m not one. But it does seem to me that the only possible important difference is that Beauty knows about the experiment before the coin is tossed; but perhaps the amnesia compensates exactly for that.
As far as your “an instrument sold by a (so far completely ignorant) third party that pays off $100 if the announced result is tails”, then of course Beauty would value it exactly as your interviewees, provided she knew that the offer was to be made at every interview.
