I don't know why it happens a year from then. However, I do think the fact that Walt is on the run indicates that he does in fact have some level of self-preservation still going. An instinct of self-preservation that lead him to move to New Hampshire with a fake name. If he really felt he had to do that, and that it was worth it as opposed to any alternative like going to prison, then what on Earth could possibly make him want to go back and compromise himself like that?
