Nothing special - at the next scan, pages are counted again
considering their new size.

We're not doing it currently. As I understand, the migrate code does
not copy the PTE young bits either, nor does it try to preserve page
order in the LRU lists. So it's not transparent to the LRU algorithms,
but it does not cause incorrect behavior either.
