Hmmm, not really sure what you mean here by "leading a break" --- are we back to "playing statues" again? Is it ok for the leader to sabotage/hijack a lead from a follower?

Ok, I'll admit, my musicality has really sucked in the past -- but what helped wasn't followers forcing me into breaks -- it was the fact that they *let me know* that I had missed one.

Now, that I've got so that I can hear (some of) the breaks --- I can use a number of different options to highlight them (or hesitations, or whatever).
If I'm (back-)led into a freeze, then that's going to limit things considerably.

So, if the leader's "receptive to encouragement" it'd be good for the follower to indicate that there *was* a break.

Personally, I'd really prefer that followers don't backlead me into a freeze, but that they should feel free to let me know if they think I've failed to lead something appropriate to a break.
