Reading get_data_from_pack(), it does rely on hdr_size, idx.offset and idx.offset of the next entry to be set correctly. The function does not seem to use type (which the patch is also setting) nor real_type (which the patch does not set).

However, the code checks objects[nth].real_type all over the place in the code. Doesn't the lack of real_type assignment in append_obj_to_pack() affect them in any way?
