I cannot comment as my company only buys the standard tickets. As the size rules are the same, I would say yes, they could still check.
My preference is just to have a bag that I know fits, then don't need to try to evade "being caged" (as I've heard the process of having to put your bag in the sizing guage being called) at the gate.
