Correct. There's a

    /* FIXME! Should we check sizes too? */

where such checks would go, but sizes are sometimes definitely
unreliable (ie divecomputer downloads giving bogus info etc), so I
left it open.

Is there a test-case for this somewhere? I was hoping the "same gasmix
in same order" would take care of it,  but..

But yes, we could try to at least save gas pressures. Again, a
test-case for this would be lovely, just so that I don't do it
blindly.
