Checking the code, I noticed that this assumption of mine was wrong:

We are not yet validating checksums of objects objects extracted from pack
files. This has only been implemented for loose objects so far.
Looks like I left packed objects for later at the time but never returned to
finish this work. If anyone wants to pick it up, feel free to do so, but please
let me know so we can avoid duplicated effort.
