But if that happens, wouldn't the broach stop if they then opened the rams back up and relieved the pressure?

it should, as the fluid would resume it's path of least resistance continuing up the wellbore and on to the production equipment.

they're proceeding w/ extreme caution to make sure this doesn't happen, but also respond quickly if it begins to.

So why not just play it safe and produce the well until the relief well is finished. Its not like they dont have plenty of production capacity topside!
