ummm.. consider an accident that dislodged that rear seat from it's position at all. even if the seat your child seat is in is stationary, that rear seat could rip your child seat apart. I assume that's why all proper teathers are attatched to the structure of the car that isn't going to move... bad bad idea in my mind.
All van factory tether anchors I have ever seen were attached to the seat in the rear behind/under the butt of the seat... so this setup is no different then the factory setup...
I also don't understand where you are coming from... Are you saying that if the van seat were to become unattached from the van, you'd want the tether attached to the frame, thinking this would keep the child safe? I have heard a similar argument about putting children in a tethered seat if you are worried about your seatbelts failing, but I don't know that this is a great argument either... The tether is not made to replace the main support holding the child seat in the car, only to reduce head excursion... (from my understanding )
