What would be another plausible benefit to ramping up your own casualties for marginal land gains when the outcome of the war is largely going to be influenced in a month or two?

You're a general with political ambitions, and you're sabotaging the strategies of a rival with malicious compliance. Who knows really, the point is that there isn't a good reason for it because we don't know who in that chain of command might benefit - and the null hypothesis that it's an unforced error definitely can remain in play here, I'm not discounting that at all.
