Which is probably a good reason for us to offer it as an all-in-one command,
rather than expecting them to do it manually...

I think that if the 'SET TYPE' operation is ever to be rollback-able, it
will need to use 2x diskspace. If it's overwritten in place, there's no
chance of fallback... I think that a DBA would choose to use the command
knowing full well what it requires? Better than not offering them the
choice at all!
