Basically, if this is supported, there'll be a new rule - if the user demotes themself during a demotion thread, then the demotion thread counts as Insta-Support? I don't think so. What TULO says is that when a user self-demotes, and there is an ongoing demotion thread for them because they performed an action that is unacceptable, they won't be able to use the "repromote after 2 weeks" method, and they'll have to start a promotion thread instead.

There is an exception though, if the ongoing demotion thread for them was because they were too inactive, and they self-demoted, then this rule doesn't apply (per the rules, which states that any user that has been demoted for inactivity can regain their rights back after 2 weeks with some activity requirements).
