As near as I can tell atm, it's a necessity. get_id_path can't make up data that doesn't exist in the change table. Additionally, get_id_path can't do a substring compare on the paths it does locate because that's the whole point in calling get_id_path. i.e. to get the offical committed path of a NodeRevision, and not to guess at what it was.
