So why does the spec mandate the HTTP PUT method for updating Atom Entries?
The HTTP spec defines (HTTP 9.6): "The PUT method requests that the
enclosed entity be stored under the supplied Request-URI.".
In my understanding this means that a GET after a PUT will return
exactly the same body.
That is not true, there is no way for a server to guarantee
that a GET after a PUT will return the exact same body.
Correct. There are also implementations in the wild that indeed behave
differently (think authoring-enabled HTTP servers on top of XML databases).
