Since you agree that the number of histories is on a continuum, you must 
accept that no matter how large or small a segment of the continuum is 
considered, the number of histories is the same. Hence measure is the same 
for any observer.

The whole concept of "measure" is based on assigning different probabilities 
to different infinite sets--the fact that two sets have the same cardinality 
doesn't imply they must have the same measure. For example, any continuous 
probability distribution used in statistics (the bell curve, for example) 
can be used to assign a measure to an arbitrary finite interval (which 
necessarily contains an infinite number of points), the measure just being 
the area under the curve over that interval.
