Then why would a few of my users get versions that are corrupted and
downloading again solves the problem?

Unsure what your problem actually is, but I can assure you that the
Market does actually do this.
Upon download request the give the Market an sha of the application --
once done download it will check this. If this succeeds it will pass
the apk on to the package manager, which will then verify the
signature of the apk also :)

Apparently the Market app does NO error checking for downloads. Once
again I had a user complaining my app wasn't working correctly. I
suggested he uninstall/reinstall and as a last resort he did so and that
solved the problem. Apparently though the app was corrupted during
download it still ran. I had another case where the custom font wasn't
displaying and the uninstall/reinstall solved that for the user. How
many of you are wasting time chasing down bugs which are really nothing
more than a corrupted download? Seems to me when a user downloads they
could first send the MD5sum then after the download see if it matches
before installation.
