I'm having trouble figuring out a proof for your last claim... But then again, maybe I'm just being stupid because two other people have tried to explain it to me and I didn't understand their attempts either :-(

These two pages from the 1997 edition of "An Introduction to Kolmogorov Complexity and Its Applications" seem relevant.

Thanks a lot! I'm now convinced that the claim is true, but have no idea why :-) Will try to work through the proof.
