You're right. The sender will behave as if the damaged regions of the file contain zeros, but then it will cause the post-transfer checksum to fail. That will make the receiver either discard the temporary file or put it in the partial dir for later use as a basis. But when --inplace is in use, the original file has already been overwritten.
