What you describe may have been added to IPS after making the named experiences and you are right that inconsistencies woud be a result on any system if the depot is modified. But at that time, people did usually use pkgadd with a DVD as source.

Most packaging systems would suffer from the same inconsistency issue if the repository is updated while installations are performed, even SVR4 packages with network support (pkgadd -d http://server/package.pkg). You would also have the same issue if someone updates your local file system based repository. Finally, note that IPS supports "incorporations" that allow restraining what versions will be picked at package installation time.
