That's it--no user punishment, no warning or anything needed. It's not even nullifying the battle. It's just a way to make the users take initiative--if they want their infobox "will fight whoever" status to be valid, then they have to do the subsequent header. Wouldn't that just lead to a edit war though? If they don't get a warning then they might just think it was removed by accident and just put it back on again and so on and so forth. Although a way around would be to put the reason in the edit summary I guess so not too much of a problem.

It could also cause hassle if someone else wants to do the battle, checks the page and sees no planned match up and then does the battle before the original user. Then the original user is going to get pretty ticked off while the user who did make the battle has the reasoning that they didn't see it on the warrior status and as such thought nobody had claimed it.
