I don't think we want to make such an assumption when its just a matter of 
using a short or an int, especially when we don't have to count single 
bytes(ps_compiled_shader isn't performance or size critical).

E.g. one might run across a strange Intel, Matrox or SGI GL implementation, or 
somebody might disable some extensions for debugging purposes and fall back 
to texrect on dx10 cards. (It's kinda annoying when you hit a new bug when 
debugging something)

It is obviously a different story with things like adding extra complicated 
code for handling vertex texture fetch that will most likely never be used in 
real life.
