yes, but this plaintext is essentially random noise (if it's a well-chosen
random key).  It does appear in a message which has some redundancy, however,
and which will have different prefixes before the randomness, so my "quick
intuition" says it's really a different message under different keys.
see the authenticator format in the ASN.1 description.
