Minhas Hinuch (#613) tries to argue your claim, that we assume accuracy
even with regard to haseros ve'yeseros as long as they are semantically
significant, but he runs into trouble with the word 'totafos', since
according to Rashi, the Gemara's D'rashah of the four Parshiyos of
Tefillin is based on the plene spelling of the word in Parshas Ve'haya
Im, whereas we have it deficient.
