A little clarification of terminology:
According to the Encyclopedia, "anti-meto-critical move" is the "scientific" name for the Bristol clearance. However, the try in the 1st Prize (h#2) is a pure anti-Bristol or, in other words, a meta-critical move. The idea of the problem could be more accurately described as "anti-Bristol avoidance".

 QUOTE 
According to the Encyclopedia, "anti-meto-critical move" is the "scientific" name for the Bristol clearance.

I was trying to argue with the Encyclopedia that is too focused on directmates there.
"anti-" = avoiding interference +
"meto-" = by moving the blocker along the line with respect to the observed object
is slightly broader than just Bristol clearance, in helpmate "Anti-Bristol avoidance" as you suggest (a term I totally agree with) should logically also fall under this category. Thus my wording "likely a very special form of an Anti-Meto-Critical move".
