Art, I like your reasoning better, but the ugly reality is that in your scenario, when the employee exercises at market price of $50, $25 of regular income hits his W-2 (no matter how long the option was held). Any increase over the new basis of $50 will be subject to the capital gains rate (assuming it's held over a year from exercise date).
