Oh, I see! Spoiler effect equals mutual majority failure. Let me try, 
with tongue planted firmly in cheek...

"A spoiler effect happens when a majority, who could have got someone 
they preferred to the current winner elected by coming together, is 
instead splintered so that their preferred candidate does not win."

In other words: a Condorcet failure. That was fun, but arbitrary 
redefinitions of a spoiler effect don't really go anywhere :-)
