Uhm... the problem? If a terrorist wants to X himself, I got no problem with it, providing he doesn't kill or harm anyone else in the process.
You make it sound like a dead terrorist is a bad thing.

If it turns out you have missed, will you be willing to execute yourself in recompense?
I don't have problems with End over Means, but on two conditions:
1) You can't complain when anyone else does it on similar computations, past present or future.
2) If you missed, then all you have is the Bad End from your Means, so you should be willing to pay the commensurate price. If you hit, you still better hit the jackpot or you should still be willing to pay for the remnant "blow back".

How is it incomparable? In both cases, the result is the same, a badly damaged person.
Our present world, IMO, overemphasizes the physical over the mental, the repairable hardware over the software. Scream at a person, insult them for all you are worth, but for some reason the moment he throws one punch at you he's the bad guy and is likely to defend himself, even though really the mental damage you have inflicted is arguably more than the damage from the punch, which would probably quickly heal to nothing...
