I agree.  It seemed to me that the Guardian didn't want to kill the 
Avatar, he just wanted to dump him off somewhere while he destroyed 
Britannia.  I also think the Guardian knew that the Avatar would achieve
ultimate power on Pagan, and WANTED him to do so.  This way the Avatar
could return to Britannia (endgame U8) and see the destruction.  It also
would then allow for a more evenly matched final battle in U9.  This
is the type of logic I see in villians in stories and movies now and 
then.  The bad guy is so confident that he is willing to risk it all just
to gloat over his victim.  But in the end, the victim outdoes him and wins.
