All existing PI holders would become simultaneously both the LIR *and*
the End User in the above chain, so I'm not sure where this confusion
would come from?

It would essential be the same as if a current LIR assigns its entire
allocation to itself (its own infrastructure) and has no external End
Users. I have a feeling this already happens a quite a bit in IPv4 these
days...
