No, I don't see how it's tighter. The old code matched supplied
offnum(s) against the indexes of not-unused items, and then after
that loop it complained if they weren't all matched. So it should
also have failed, albeit with a different error message, if it were
passed an offnum corresponding to a no-longer-live tuple.
