we would make the same choices in MWI as in an unbranching universe.

If there is no way to tell the two apart, why would you make different choices in different cases?

I'm not sure I would, but "telling the two apart" seems like a weak criterion to stop me from making different choices, if I have a reason to believe the effects in the multiverse might be different, even if I will never know.
