The scribe made a deliberate effort to write either kch or cKh, so I don't see why the distinction should be considered meaningless. In fact it seems that the reason why the gallows letters are tall and why ch has the shape that it does is precisely so that the combination cKh will be possible. That the script was apparently designed with this combination in mind suggests that it's significant.
Also, you cite the fact that they often do not occur in the same place as evidence that they are equivalent, but then also cite the fact that they sometimes do occur in the same place as evidence that they are equivalent... it's hard to imagine what evidence that they are not equivalent would look like.
