Please read my post carefully with understanding.
I am talking about rebroadcasting. And rebroadcasting logic behaves differently for cases:
- you are the owner of public key (even if only on receiving site)
- you are not the owner of public key
And any externally visible difference for those two cases can be leveraged to deanonymize users.
And that's why I pointed out the 'repeatable rebroadcast' part. Single measurements obviously won't reveal the owner. But repeated measurements over time will do it faster than you would expect.

Never said it is different. Rebroadcasting means repeated broadcasting.
And the "repeating tx broadcasting forever (because of low feerate)" part is privacy compromising. Hope that helps clear things up. For more info just google "bitcoin rebroadcasting".
