No, I wouldn't say it's a formal logical fallacy.  It's more of an overemphasis on compromise.  Compromise and cooperation definitely have their merits, but not for the sake of appeasement.  The value lays in understanding opposing perspectives.  So yes, it is logically inaccurate to assert that the middle ground is more correct, but it's not wrong for the sake of not being original.
