I like the advice to bounce LLA. This should eliminate a timing issue. While LLA is down, the (new) directory will be searched on each fetch. Once LLA is back up, he will have an updated picture of where members are located.
It's important to distinguish between an allocation change and a directory change. FETCH cares a whole lot about PDS extents. Only LLA cares about directory details. . .

Compressing is a different issue and as long as Ken doesn't care about what may happen to jobs / tasks trying to use those modules while he is working with that data set, then all will be fine after he does the LLA refresh. The directory will be read again when refreshed, so the new blocks added will be picked up. And I've done this before, but you can run a simple test if you want to verify for yourself.
