Hi.I start to see your "common sense" reasoning. But I am not saying pentode UL transfer curve is IDENTICAL to its triode mode. But it gets pretty close to triode.
Let's take a look at the dynamic charateristic curves of 6SJ7 pentode & triode-strapped (with the same B+ 250V, Rl=250kR, Vgs=22.5, Ib=0.5mA) with slope factor added. We can see both pentode & triode strapped curves are virtually identical & very linear per
a typical triode."The general treatment & the calculation of gain (of pentodes) are identical with those for ideal dynamic characteristics as applied to triodes. In the case of pentodes, the operation can be kept outside
the grid current region, without any other loss, by selecting a suitable screen voltage." - extract from RDH.Good listening
