Actually, the one year capital gains tax rule doesn't apply to shorts, since they buy to close out the position, and the taxes start from when you buy, technically they are only in the stock for one infinitieth of a second.

If the stock disappeared, however, they wouldn't pay ANY taxes at all since they never technically closed out the position.
