I believe signatures are checked after packages are rebuilt from deltas. Therefore, if your delta is compromised, the resulting package won't validate with the signature.

Will deltas be combined by pacman, or will only ever a single delta be used?
They can be combined. pacman does a calculation to see whether the delta chain is worth it.
