whether constructive receipt applies to offer to accelerate payment

The proposed 409A regulations state that "common law doctrines continue to apply to any such election" to change payment dates under Notice 2005-1, Q&A-19©. Notice 2007-86 extends through 2008 a participant's ability to elect a new payment date for payments due after 2008.

Question: If an account balance plan now provides for only one payment option, which is 60 monthly installments after separation, is there a constructive receipt problem with the employer allowing a current employee to elect in November 2008 to receive either a lump sum in 2009 or three annual installments in 2009-2011?

I don't see the constructive receipt issue. I am familiar with the Martin case.
