The fuel intake on the replacement pump appears a have a fixed radius from the pump axis, which would indicate that it is designed for only one size bottle, and/or might not scavenge all the fuel. Useful info on this point will be appreciated.

What I believe you're seeing and referring to in the picture is not the fuel intake but the check valve. If you look closely, you will see a part of the fuel uptake tube on the left (more visible on the Dragonfly pump pic). This flexible line rests on the bottom of the fuel bottle, regardless of MSR fuel bottle size, when aligned for stove use. Because of this setup, less than 1/2tsp of fuel remains unused, at least in my experience, and I am neither careful nor particularly conscientious of the fuel bottle's placement on the ground.
