However, If i did not know the traffic situation I would orbit.
I sincerely hope not - for the reasons stated earlier in the thread.

A captain is wholly responsible for his aircraft - the ATC is only partly so, and if deprived of information about what is going on, and presented with an empty runway, I can think of worse options than to land and turn off asap
Unfortuanately I can also think of a reason why this is a bad thing to do - the apparently clear runway which suddenly becomes blocked by an aircraft on tow which has been legitimately cleared to cross. That would be very nasty indeed
