It is probably worse, since they might even get the wrong row, 
but that's the same in Informix and Oracle.

In Informix:

a: selects rowid
b: updates row, row grows, does not fit in page, is relocated
c: inserts rows, pysical location of rowid is reused
a: selects row by rowid, gets differet row --> bummer
