I optimistically assumed that the modifications are merged when the
changeset is closed, thus creating a changeset indistinguishable from
one that was created in one go. But it's obvious that I don't know
anything about the inner workings of the API.

Well, it seems I will have to convert that user to JOSM so he can
temp-save locally instead of making a mess of the object history. ;)
