Correction: I forgot that SMP/E multitasks binder steps until immediately after hitting "send." (Isn't that always the way?) So, even trying to build up an identical system for which binary compares would work is perhaps nearly impossible in the first place, and it would be very, very difficult at best.

OK, a correction to the correction (sorry, all). Although the order of binds in an APPLY step is not necessarily predictable, any particular load module (or program object) should be bound only once in a single APPLY step. So this does not add another variant--even though there are enough other variants to render this comparison quite hard, if not pretty close to infeasible. (Thanks for the clarification, KQ!)
