I think that the fact FME is able to diagnose the problem indicates that it will have compensated correctly.
Logically I think that any problem would manifest itself as either missing features or a gross mistranslation of EVERY feature. Provided that we are translating the correct number of features, and that you can check one or two features and say that they are OK, then I think all should be well.
