FMA/SG2 CC question

Scenario: Unit (or in FMA) figure fires on another nearby figure (say 8"
away). Then says "I combat move up to that figure or unit". Rolls, makes it.
They are standing toe to toe. My gut feeling is to resolve a CC, only this is
nasty because 1) the attacker only spent 1 action to do it (so it's great
efficiency wise), 2) the attacker didn't test to initiate, the defender to
stand.

What would you do? The move is patently not illegal - it's just a
combat move. However the other option would be to not fight a CC, and then all
of a sudden one of them will fire at point blank at the other depending on
initiative (also cheesy).

Thoughts for a resolution for either FMA or SG2?

My decending list of preferences... 1. I say no CC. The guy didn't plan it out
ahead. He gets there and takes a point blank in the face. Maybe next turn he
can get a leader to give him an action. I don't think a firefight a point
blank is cheesy. I have friends to whom this has happened to for real. After
all firefights take place at 1 or 2 meters just like they do at 50 meters.
(remember the apricot story?)

2. He can CC after a +2 reaction check but the defender gets a free
reaction fire on him. (maybe no threat check on the defender or an option fora
free withdrawl?)

Why penalize the defender for poor planning on the attacker's part?
