How does one know that a compressed RAW file is actually lossless?

Over at dpreview, Steve (apparently the first kid on the block with a 
K10D) has posted a DNG file taken at ISO 1600 here:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/zsdg52

It is a 6 mb file. When you open it in CS2, then resave it as a TIFF, it 
becomes a 29 mb file. So clearly the DNG was compressed.

I don't want to use RAW compression unless I cam be completely certain 
that it is lossless. How does one know?

Thanks,

Joe
