Your choice of action is not constrained by your knowledge of partner's 
ethics (unimpeachable or otherwise).  The knowledge that partner has a 
clear-cut 2D is based not only on his ethics but also on an inference 
based on your own break in tempo and "inferences from such variation may 
appropriately be drawn only by an opponent" (L75d1).

This doesn't actually cause a problem very often since one would tend to 
assume (if it mattered) that partner was mainstream for his call.
