I'm inclined to agree. If within 48 hours it's obvious that an RFC is doomed, I don't see an issue with the author going "eh, never mind" and saving everyone 2 weeks of waiting. If there's some key controversial bit they can change and try again, I think that's reasonable. Probably needs a Major Change cooldown period, but that's fine.
The current proposal already specifies that canceling a vote is a “Major change”. I also expect that any changes made *after* canceling and *before* restarting the vote would be Major changes themselves, so unless the changes happen right away and are then uncontentious, I would expect the new vote to come no earlier than 3-4 weeks after the cancelation.
