I have heard this talked about before.  This is not from my experience, but 
from what I have heard.  People have tried their own verify by md5sum and 
been unable to get a correct result.  K3b seems to be able to do it.  I don't 
know whether some corrective has been consciously programmed in, but the 
concensus seems to be that if K3b says it's OK, then you can trust it.
