Even if we let check_tree() called from index_mem() by taking the normal path, it wouldn't complain the type mismatch, I suspect. I guess doing it this way is a future-proof against check_tree() getting tightened in the future, in which case I think it makes sense. And for the same reason, hashing "--literally" like this patch does is a better solution than using "git mktree", which would have allowed us to avoid the hex2oct and instead feed the tree in a bit more human-readable way.
