Simples.
This isn't the OP's scenario, but for the sake of argument let's say the ceiling was something high like 2500 and you're 1000 below it maintaining required cloud clearance, what's wrong with getting cleared for a visual approach and executing it, regardless of what you were cleared for before? How is that different from the routine multitude of times we are cleared for an IFR procedure and then (partway through it) cleared for a different one?
Edit: come to think of it, this is not a counting the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin exercise, I've done exactly this in the past. (USA).
