It's not that packing introduces new problems, it's that packing isn't an
error recovery procedure:  if the POSKeyErrors persist after the pack, then
packing will have destroyed some amount of original evidence forever,
potentially making it that much harder for someone to figure out how to
repair the POSKeyErrors.
