There's a common case where it's not equivalent - when the pointer is

extern(C) void fun(int* things);
Imagine also that it's ok to call with null. Well, now I can't use a
slice to call this and have it be 1) @safe and 2) not throw RangeError.
I ran into this the other way.
fun(x.length ? &x[0] : null);
I think even the compiler could elide the bounds check since you already
did it, but I'm not sure that actually happens.
