This, alas, isn't so much an ethical dilemma as a situation that can conceiveably bring you in conflict with contest rules. We discussed this at length within the past year on another art forum, and a lot of people concluded that they could no longer post work for critique if they had any expectation of eventual entry in a contest. You're right, Kimberly, about competition rules against work done in a workshop or under supervision, and the conclusion of most people was that although "supervision" isn't explicitly defined, exposure to critique in a public forum in which many teachers and experts participate can easily be construed as "supervised," comments are solicited, suggestions made, and work is altered. Mind you, I'm not happy with it either, but we have to live with it.
