Two things to consider:

Does epair do it the "right way"?  And does it even matter given that this
behaviour hasn't had any exposure and is likely ever going to be used
as input for another tool?

I mean it still tracks the origin in the driver.  This way you can even find
the epair belonging together.  It looks like it should given the design
choices.
