Pretty much what the OP says. Keep in mind that if a thread specifically stated Tobi could not run away that is a completely different thing. We're looking at this in an unspecified sense.
This is a fight looking at (as illogical as it is) Gai blindly pulling out 8 gates right from the start. It's not like Deidara vs Sasuke where Deidara was forced in to C0. Gai pulls it out because he feels like it.
I'll throw some arguments both ways to give you guys a better understanding.

Why it should be a forfeit:
If they stay for a certain period of time, it's an automatic loss..If they use their technique to escape, it doesn't change the fact that they didn't use their own technique to defeat the other..so my point still stands. They didn't defeat the person.
You can't return to a fight when it is over. [Definition of fight: a violent confrontation or struggle]....you escape because you can't take part in it..Therefore you lost against that person since you can't confront or challenge the person. That's not happening because the essence of the fight has been ruined.
Someone waiting for another to die somewhere else means he can't fight the person..he's therefore not stronger than the person and isn't a match for the person since he can beat the person by his/herself or by his/her power. Therefore they lose the battle since they are not partaking in it..Simple
Well, for me, it also counts as he ran away. It's a difference to teleport into his dimension to escape one blow, or to just teleport away and to wait until the opponent dies by the disadvantages of his technique. Of course...he wouldn't win the "battle", as there never was a battle
Why it should not be a forfeit:
The winner of a vs thread is based on the objective, Which is (generally) to defeat the other opponent until they die.
This is fine and all, but if they are using a technique to escape from a certain attack then return to the battlefield is called strategy.
If they stay there until the enemy exhausts himself is called outlasting. Outlasting means "to live or last longer than"
Forfeit means escaping from battlefield, but the problem here is that, the whole world is Obito's battlefield as he can travel to any part of the world within a sec.
So, Obito is not bounded. Gai on the other hand is time bound due to 8th gate. i'm 100% certain that if Shikaku/Shikamaru were to give their input on this matchup, they would definitely count Obito's Kamui as a win cuz its a smart move. They are ninjas for fks sake. Anything for survival is a win.
