I thought a lot of the benefit of using a powered KVM for this purpose were 
the proc amps inside.  Using any kind of switching (whether manual or 
electronic) typically implies twice the cabling as normal and I thought video 
was very sensitive to that (ie, length of wire).

You're very right about impedance mismatching, going from wire to pin to pin 
back to wire again, etc, etc...

But then, my electronics background isn't well-schooled.
